Excavation Perfectionists

In Clackamas, OR 

Both the name of a county and a suburb inside the Portland Metro area, Clackamas is a fantastic place for us to work. Constantly moving, constantly updating and blending the older traditions of the area with new, modern designs, there’s always something happening in the dirt of Clackamas. From custom home site prep to retaining walls for the front yard or backyard to clearing land for fire prevention or just aesthetics, Scott Tankersley enjoys the variety of work they are called upon to do in Clackamas.

Custom Home Site Preparation in Clackamas, OR

While Clackamas may not have as lengthy a history as other parts of the US (especially the eastern half) part of the beauty of the PNW is making history for the generations to come. Many people choose to do this by building their own home, putting their mark down for their family and for others to come.

Scott Tankersley understands this and has lived it. His family has been digging in and working with Oregon dirt for more than sixty years. Since starting his excavation business after decades of training, he has helped countless families create their own history and homes to pass down to the coming generations.

Custom home site prep for luxury homes or smaller homes all starts with the same thing – the desire to do the work right. While STE works quickly, we never rush and we make sure the job is done right before we drive away. Once the home is built, there’s no do-overs. That’s why every job passes Scott’s inspection backed up by the weight of generations of knowledge and experience.

If you’re looking for custom home site prep for your Clackamas, OR luxury home to be done the way it should be, contact Scott Tankersley Excavation today. Let the excavation perfectionists create the basis for your enduring custom-built home for generations to come. 

Clackamas, OR Fire Prevention

One doesn’t usually think of places like Clackamas when you think about wildfires or needing to implement fire prevention measures around your property. However, with larger plots of land, large back yards, farmland, forests and all the mix of areas that exist here, it’s actually more of a concern than at first blush.

Sure, fire services are going to come help out much sooner than in deep in the country. But an errant spark that catches fire in dry grass and underbrush can quickly spread and cause a surprising amount of damage in a short amount of time. It’s not just trees and forests at risk either. With the mix of country living, natural areas and private homes, outbuildings and even houses could be either seriously damaged or fully engulfed in a fairly short time.

Save yourself, your family, your home and your property from this by mitigating the fire danger with fire prevention land clearing and excavation services. Calling Scott Tankersley Excavation gets the ball rolling and you on your way to more peace of mind.

Clackamas, OR Mulching

It doesn’t matter how big your plot of land is. Small backyard garden to large backyard garden to even large farms – mulching can be hard work. With time always at a premium and good help getting harder to find, you might find yourself in a situation where a little help is all you need.

That’s the time to call Scott Tankersley Excavation. With growing up on a commercial produce farm and his years running an excavation company, Scott knows a thing or two about dirt, farming and mulching.

Whether you’ve got a commercial operation that needs the work done quickly or a smaller, backyard garden that you just don’t have time for, give us a call. We’ll come take a look and help you make the best action plan for your situation. What could be better?

Clackamas, OR Retaining Walls

Most of the time when you see a retaining wall you don’t think much about it. It’s just there.

Scott Tankersley and his crew are a little different. They see a retaining wall and they start thinking about which design it actually is. What materials the builders used other than the obvious externally visible ones. How did they backfill it? Did they use the appropriate drainage constructions in order to keep the hydrostatic pressure under control?

You see, STE knows a few things about retaining walls. Whether your Clackamas retaining wall project is small or a massive earthmoving undertaking, give a call to the people who not only move dirt all day everyday but also know how to make it stay where it should. Reach out today. 

Land Clearing in Clackamas, OR

Excavation work has many facets. At it’s most basic it is moving land from one place to another. However, before that work even begins, we have to be able to see the land in front of us and underneath the natural brush and shrubs. That requires us to perform land clearing on many of our Clackamas, OR jobs before we begin the work of moving the earth.

In other words, we clear a lot of land. Scott Tankersley Excavation has the specialized equipment necessary to tear through overgrown bushes and thickets that are essentially impassable. We enjoy the work nearly as much as the excavation work we do – it’s terribly satisfying to see the land hidden by years or decades of overgrowth.

Whether your Clackamas land clearing project is a backyard out of control or dozens and dozens of acres that need to be revealed, give us a call. We’ll discuss your situation and clear things up for you.

We've said it before and we'll tell anyone who'll listen - we really enjoy working in Clackamas. There's always great homes to look at and, of course, nice restaurants to eat at.

For us, though, the best part of doing our excavation work in Clackamas is the people we get to work with. Polite and kind, they're our kind of folk.

Contact us today with any Clackamas, OR excavation-related work you might need done. We're always happy to help.
