Excavation Services You Can Count On in the Mid-Ohio Valley

Because we still believe in showing up early, working hard, and not cutting corners.
We’re union-trained, safety-obsessed, and built like the machines we run — tough, reliable, and made to last.


Family-owned since 1969, we’ve been digging, hauling, and getting dirty in Marietta, Parkersburg, and across the Mid-Ohio Valley long before it was trendy.
Licensed, insured, and ready to move mountains… or at least a whole lot of rock and dirt.

Our Services

  • Excavation

    We dig. We grade. We move earth like it owes us money For jobs big, small, and downright stubborn. Industrial, commercial, residential. If it needs a hole, we’ll make it happen.

  • Augering

    Clean, deep holes — no guesswork, no shortcuts. Posts, footers, foundations, you name it. We drill like we mean it, because we do.

  • Skid Steer Work

    When space gets tight, we don’t flinch — we fire up the skid steer. Precision grading, material wrangling, and squeezing into places bigger machines wouldn’t dare. Small but mean.

  • Dump Truck Service

    Dump Truck Service

    We haul the heavy stuff — dirt, rock, debris, whatever you’ve got. Industrial, commercial, residential — if it fits in the bed, it’s getting moved. On time. No excuses.

Real Jobs. Real Equipment. Real Results.

Here’s a look at what we do when no one’s afraid to get dirty. These aren’t stock photos or filtered snapshots — they’re real jobs, real machines, and real messes we turned into something solid. From digging out foundations to hauling off the evidence, we’ve been knee-deep in the Mid-Ohio Valley’s dirt for over five decades. Take a scroll through the trenches, tire tracks, and tough jobs that got done the way they should — with sweat, steel, and zero shortcuts.
