A Happy Childhood Begins In A Safe Backyard
You surely remember the fun summer times spent in your parents’ backyard. Those are the earliest and probably most beautiful memories that you have – ones you’ll cherish forever.
You almost feel the taste of cold lemonade after running wild outside all day. Also, it seems like only yesterday when you raised a tent to observe countless stars and experience your first outdoor sleepover. The excitement of discovering wildlife, chasing fireflies, trying to catch them all – that’s strongly connected to your parents’ home.
In order for your children to enjoy the same experiences, you have to keep your outdoor space in good shape. We’ll help you clear it and level it up in no time, so you can make more room for long-lasting memories.

To us, it's all about delivering the best results and exceeding homeowners’ expectations. Here's what our happy customers say about us.
We had a serious drainage problem on the side of our property when it rained. Troy responded immediately to our request for a consultation and suggested a French Drain and slight regrading of the lot. The estimate was very reasonable. We found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, timely and was great about keeping us informed on the progress of the project.
When all was said and done, it looked great and we won’t have to worry about ankle deep water on our lot when it rains. We highly recommend Troy and his company to anyone that wants a job done well done by a very experienced professional.
Diane Feliciano
I appreciate the service I received from Troy and Excavation Contractors, LLC. Troy was the most responsive and helpful out of all the contractors I spoke to about getting my damaged culvert replaced.
They were not the lowest bid I received, but I had a feeling that Excavation Contractors would do the best work. I wasn’t disappointed.
Seth Hatfield
The contractors were very professional. After receiving an estimate, the excavators came out and we’re able to back fill around my above ground pool in one day.
They also were able to spread out the dirt that was left over making it easy for me to prep my yard for next spring. If I need this type of work done again, I’ll definitely reach out to them.
