Every successful project starts with solid ground. At Elite Driveways & Excavations, we’re trusted earthworks contractors who take pride in doing the job properly, from the first dig to the final finish.
Founded in 2024 by James Holliday, Elite was born out of a clear goal: to bring dependable, honest groundwork and excavation services to homeowners and businesses across Norfolk. While the company itself is new, our team brings years of hands-on experience to every job. We’ve worked on hundreds of sites over the years, gaining a wide range of practical knowledge that only comes from getting stuck in and doing the work.
We provide trusted services across Norfolk and within a 30-mile radius, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn, and everywhere in between. No matter the scale of the job, we focus on strong foundations and sharp finishes that make a real difference to your property.
Built on Experience. Driven by Quality.
James spent over a decade working in construction and groundwork before deciding to build something of his own. With a strong reputation in the local industry and a growing network of trusted suppliers and tradesmen, he brought together a team who shares the same approach: straightforward, quality-focused, and reliable.
We’ve worked on everything from small garden dig-outs and residential driveways to full-scale site preparation and large commercial groundwork. Our clients trust us because we focus on strong foundations, good communication, and tidy workmanship.
We know what it takes to keep a job moving, and we understand that no two projects are the same. Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading your drive or a developer needing reliable earthworks contractors, you’ll get the same attention to detail and level of care.
Every member of our crew is hand-picked for their experience and work ethic. We’ve all spent time on the tools, and we understand the importance of getting the groundwork right the first time.
We’re based in Norfolk and serve a 30-mile radius. Whether you’re in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn or anywhere nearby, we show up on time, do what we say, and leave your site neat and ready for the next stage
We don’t oversell. We’ll tell you what your project really needs, nothing more, nothing less, and explain each step so you’re never left in the dark.
James is the driving force behind Elite Driveways & Excavations. He’s a hands-on business owner who still gets out on site, checks on progress, and speaks directly with customers. Known for his no-nonsense attitude, he’s built strong relationships across Norfolk’s building and landscaping trade thanks to his hard work and honesty.
When James founded Elite in 2024, his aim wasn’t to build just another contractor brand—it was to create a team people could rely on, again and again. That’s why so much of our work now comes from repeat clients and referrals.
