Because we own our own fleet — excavators, skid steers, dump trucks, and specialty attachments — we move faster, charge less in equipment markups, and stay in control of your schedule.

Great company if you want your work done right at a reasonable price this is the company to go with!Posted on Google Armel FarnsworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very pleasant experience all around. He showed up explained what he would do and made suggestions. He then proceeded to complete the foundation work as contracted in a very efficient manner. Later we contracted again for septic. Same experience. Very personable and professional. Easy online payment portal.Posted on Google Janet MathewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During last year's torrential rains, the culvert to my back field washed out and I lost access to my pasture. Jason Blake did a great job of putting the quote together, scheduling the job and completing it on time and within budget! I would highly recommend Jason and will have him do additional work for me in the future.Posted on Google John RentzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and professional company. Jason does what he says and knows his business throughly. I would recommend Blake Excavation for your job.Posted on Google John AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He did amazing work for us, on time, better than expected, fine detail, extras I would have never thought to ask for. He turned a scrubby bit of woodlands into a park-like setting, ran water lines and made sure they would survive a deep freeze, brand new sewer system, a solid gravel drive. It is immediately obvious that this is a multigenerational family business that takes real pride in its work.Posted on Google Dave FarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
