Built by a Family Who Knows the Dirt

We are a family-run excavation company that started with a shovel and a vision. After working alongside our father for more than a decade, we saw the need for a cleaner, more reliable approach to excavation. Today, we operate with six full crews and a team of up to 30. Licensed in Nevada, California, and Idaho, we take on large-scale projects that many excavation contractors avoid. From steep slopes to tight urban spaces, we handle every challenge with planning, precision, and well-maintained equipment. Our hands-on approach and commitment to doing things right set us apart on every job we take on.
