Excavation in Damascus, OR
Home base work on Damascus's large lots, clay soil, and creek drainage that most contractors underestimate.
Get a free quoteDamascus is home base, and most of our excavation work here comes from large acreage lots that used to be orchards, tree farms, or pasture before new custom homes started filling them in. The soil runs heavy in clay over basalt, which means drainage planning matters as much as the dig itself, especially near Deep Creek and Richardson Creek where runoff collects fast after a wet Oregon winter.
Since Damascus never built out municipal sewer, every foundation dig out here has to account for septic placement and drain field grading, not just the house pad. Long gravel driveways and culvert crossings are the norm rather than the exception, and clearing a lot for a new build usually means dealing with decades of blackberry, fir, and old fence line before the digging even starts.

What Damascus calls us for
Land Clearing
Old orchard and Christmas tree farm parcels here still carry decades of overgrowth before a build pad can go in.
Foundation Dig Outs
Clay over basalt and septic drain field placement make every dig out here a drainage problem first.
