About Whatcom Excavation

A locally owned excavation and site work company based in Whatcom County. Our own machines, our own crew, and a simple promise: show up, do it right, and leave your property better than we found it.

Local Roots, Real Equipment

Whatcom Excavation was built on a simple idea: property owners in Northwest Washington deserve an excavation contractor that answers the phone, gives a straight price and shows up when promised.

We live and work in Whatcom County. We know how the ground here behaves through long, wet winters, and we know the difference between a job that looks good on day one and a job that still works ten years later. That’s the standard we hold every project to.

Today we help homeowners, builders and landowners across Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish County with everything from foundation digs and site prep to side sewers, French drains, driveways, demolition, land clearing and tree removal.

How We Work

Four commitments we make on every job, big or small.

Show Up on Time

We schedule realistically and keep you updated if weather or permits change the plan.

Do It Right the First Time

Proper base, proper drainage, proper compaction. No shortcuts that cost you later.

Talk Straight

Clear written estimates, honest answers and one point of contact from start to finish.

Respect Your Property

Protected driveways and landscaping, controlled mud and a clean site when we leave.

We Own Our Machines

Many contractors rent equipment job to job. We don’t. Owning and maintaining our own fleet means we control our schedule and our quality, and you get the benefit.
