Earth Moving & Excavation Services
From rough grading to precision excavation, we move dirt the right way — with the right equipment, the right operator, and 40+ years of experience in Oregon's soil conditions.
The Right Machine. The Right Operator.
Earth moving is the foundation of every construction project — and it has to be done right before anything else can happen. We operate excavators, skid steers, and grading equipment to handle everything from small residential cuts to large-scale site work. Oregon's clay-heavy soils and wet winters demand experience. We've been working this ground for over 40 years and know exactly how it behaves.
Earth Moving Services
Rough Grading
Establishing the correct elevations and slopes before construction begins. We grade for drainage, foundation clearance, and finished grade targets — getting the site ready for the next phase.
Finish Grading
Final grading to precise elevations for slabs, flatwork, landscaping, and drainage. We work to grade stakes and leave a clean, uniform surface ready for the next trade.
Cut & Fill
Balancing earthwork on sloped sites — cutting high spots and filling low areas to achieve the desired grade. We calculate cut/fill volumes to minimize off-haul costs.
Trench Excavation
Precision trenching for utilities, footings, drainage lines, and retaining wall foundations. We dig to the specified width and depth and keep the trench walls clean.
Pond & Swale Excavation
Shaping detention ponds, retention basins, and drainage swales to engineered grades. We work from plans or can help design a drainage solution that fits your property.
Dirt Haul-Off
When you have excess material, we load and haul it off-site. When you need fill, we can source and deliver compactable material. Either way, we handle the logistics.
Precision Grading Prevents Expensive Problems
Improper grading is the root cause of foundation moisture, flooded basements, cracked flatwork, and failed landscaping. Getting the grade right the first time — with the right equipment and an experienced eye — saves thousands in remediation costs down the road.
Serving the Portland Metro Area
We operate throughout Clackamas County, Washington County, and the greater Portland metro area.
