    Typically, you do not need a permit for smaller projects. However, if you do, we can help you take care of it when we work on your project. If you are constructing a home or building something, the permit for construction will cover the excavation for that project. There could be other permits, depending on your project, but we will help out the process.

  • How do I keep water out of my house?

    Installing footing drains is the best way to keep water away from your house. Typically, homes are built with drains installed. If you are having drainage issues and know you have footing drains, they might be plugged or have been damaged. We'll have an excavating contractor in Bellingham, WA work with you to help you find out.

  • How can I add more parking?

    You will need to remove the topsoil approximately 12 feet from the area that you want to make into parking. Pit run gravel is then used as a base, compacted, and topped with crushed rock. Give our office a call; we'll have an excavating contractor in Bellingham, WA get you a free estimate.
