Excavation for Custom and High-End Homes

When a project demands experience and accuracy, we’re the crew to call. We specialize in high-end residential projects where coordination and quality aren’t optional.

01The job

Custom homes leave no room for error.

Hillside lots, tight access, finished grades that have to work with the architecture, and owners who notice everything.

We bring the same experienced crew to every custom site and coordinate with the builder, the architect and the owner from the first cut to the final grade. When the plans and the ground don’t agree, you hear about it from us early.

Custom & high-end homes questions

All FAQs →
Do you work directly with homeowners or through the builder?

Both. We work with custom home builders and directly with homeowners, and we coordinate with the architect and other trades either way.

Can you build the retaining walls too?

Yes. We build rock and retaining walls, so the excavation, utilities and walls on a custom site can all stay with one crew.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Vancouver, WA, Clark County and the greater Portland metro area, with projects across Southwest Washington and Oregon.
