Meet the Team Behind the Machines:
Kloter Light Excavation is a proud, family-owned business based right here in Ellington, Connecticut.
For me, excavation isn't just a job; it is something I've been doing practically my whole life. I started running equipment and doing site work when I was just 17 years old. Today, with 13 years of hands-on experience in light construction and over a decade of officially running my own business, I know exactly what it takes to execute a project safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.
My absolute favorite part of this job is the transformation. There is nothing better than taking a raw piece of land, an overgrown lot, or a messy pile of dirt and turning it into a clean, functional, and completely usable space for your family. When I'm not running the machines, you can usually find me spending time with my family, out fishing, or traveling. But honestly, I love what I do so much that the work itself is one of my biggest hobbies!
When you hire us, you are dealing directly with the owner from the first handshake to the final grade. We don't believe in aggressive upselling or pushing you into projects you don't need. Instead, we listen to your goals, give you our honest advice, and stick to our main motto: we are here to improve your yard on a practical budget.
Whether you need a drainage nightmare fixed, a new gravel driveway put in, or a perfectly level stone pad for a new shed, we bring the right equipment and the right attitude to get the job done. We take pride in our local reputation and work hard to do right by our neighbors across our 50-mile service radius in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
