What Our Customers Say

Phil has done two jobs for us at our camp in Upper Michigan. Both time he was prompt, kept us informed and did a great job. He truly impressed us with his attention to detail including redoing a section where we have some water issues and he was not completely happy with the results after a few weeks. We would recommend him to anyone looking to have some grading work done.

We used Site Right Excavation for some driveway drainage work. Phil was responsive to our questions and inquiries, the price was fair, and he completed the work as expected. No issues with anything. If you need excavation work, definitely contact Phil at Site Right Excavation.

Phil was excellent to work with, very responsive, and always answers and returns messages. It was reassuring to know I could get a hold of him when I needed. He did a great job of digging around our foundation and worked so fast. I will definitely be using his services again for any excavation needs and installing our new septic system.

Owner Phil Koski was born and raised in the greater Houghton/Hancock area and understands the topography of this land. When I first met him, I was immediately impressed with Phil and his technical knowledge of land development. His easy going communication skills made the process understandable, and left me with a feeling of “peace of mind” throughout the whole the development process. He and his crew worked extra hours to complete a 400’ driveway and 80’ x 70’ house clearing project within the week. I have nothing but praise for the end result.
