Most excavation companies run full-size equipment that can't fit through your backyard gate. We built our fleet specifically for residential access challenges.
- ✓ Equipment built for tight spaces
Our machines are 28-36 inches wide. If you have a standard gate, we can get through it.
- ✓ Red Seal mechanic maintains all equipment
Tom's 15 years as a certified automotive mechanic means less downtime and reliable machinery on your job.
- ✓ Local owner-operator
You deal directly with Tom — the person who shows up, runs the equipment, and gets it done right.
- ✓ Purpose-built attachment fleet
Auger, breaker, compactor, land plane, root rake — the right tool for every job, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
