🚧 Big News for High Grade Excavation 🚧

We’re excited to share that we’ve officially closed on a new commercial property that is the new headquarters for High Grade Excavation.

Last month, we officially started our fourth year in business. In just a few short years, we’ve grown from a small startup into a company with an incredible team, great customers, and more opportunities than we could have imagined. This new facility is a major milestone in that journey.

While we’ll continue operating from our 5-acre property in Interlochen, our new headquarters gives us the space and infrastructure needed to support our continued growth, including:

✔️ A paved, fenced yard for equipment and fleet storage
✔️ A large shop with six overhead doors for equipment maintenance and repairs
✔️ Expanded office space
✔️ A conference room for meetings, planning, and collaboration

This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work that has gone into building High Grade Excavation over the last four years. We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of family, employees, and customers who have believed in us along the way.

As we continue to grow, we’re committed to investing in our people, our equipment, and our ability to serve customers throughout Northern Michigan.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. We’re excited for what’s next.

At High Grade Excavation, we believe in supporting the communities that support us.

We’re proud to sponsor Traverse City Little League this season and excited to support such a great program for local kids and families. With our own son playing T-ball this year, it makes this sponsorship even more special for our family and team.

As a locally owned business, being able to give back and invest in the next generation means a lot to us. We’re grateful to continue growing roots here in Northern Michigan — both in business and in our community.

Wishing all the players, coaches, and families an awesome season ⚾️
