01 What we do

Five trades, one set of tracks.

Most jobs need dirt moved, pipe laid and concrete poured — usually in that order. Running all three in-house means no gap between subs, no finger-pointing, and one number for the whole scope.

All services
A fleet of excavators and articulated haul trucks working a large benched cut

Scale

Nothing here is
too big or too tight.

A 30,000-yard commercial cut and a 4-foot side-yard trench get the same crew discipline — they just get different iron. We size the machine to the gate, not the other way around.

02 How it goes

Three steps, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Walk the site

    We show up, shoot grades, dig a test hole if the soil is a question mark, and tell you what we actually see. No charge, no salesman.

  2. 02

    Bid the work

    A line-item number — yardage, truckloads, rock, concrete, permits, the lot. You can see exactly what moves if the scope changes.

  3. 03

    Turn it over

    Scheduled dates, daily photos, compaction reports in your inbox. We hand you a pad or a slab that passes inspection the first time.

Builders and GCs: the full bid workflow, submittal list and prequal details live on the capabilities page.

03 Paperwork

Licensed, bonded, and boring about it.

The stuff that keeps a job from stalling at inspection. Current certificates go out with every bid — you shouldn't have to ask twice.

04 From the jobsite

What people say after the trucks leave.

  • “They dug our sewer lateral under a 40-year-old maple and the tree never knew. Trench was backfilled and the sod was back down in two days.”

    Renee — Candalaria

    Sewer lateral replacement

  • “We build eight to ten spec homes a year. Basalt is the only sub whose pads I've never had to re-shoot before the framers land.”

    Doug — West Salem

    Builder — 9 pads in 2025

  • “Old driveway was a jigsaw puzzle. New one is 5 inches thick with saw joints in a straight line, and they hosed my street down before they left.”

    Amira — Keizer
