Excavation Perfectionists 

in Happy valley, Or 

We’ve watched Happy Valley grow from a sleepy bedroom community outside of Portland into a thriving town in its own right. The city has had a focused goal in its growth and has slowly evolved into one of the bright spots amongst many in the larger metro area.

For us, it’s a wonderful place to work. With the focus on making things look great and grow well, we’re always happy to join in the progress of the area, from clearing land to prepping a site for a custom-built luxury home. Big or small, we’re always grateful for work in Happy Valley because we simply enjoy being in the area so much.

Custom Home Site Preparation in Happy Valley, OR

Happy Valley is known for its beautiful homes, it’s true. From smaller more compact homes to multi-million-dollar luxury homes that can grace the covers of architectural and design magazines, the one thing they have in common (or they should) is professional site preparation.

Scott Tankersley Excavation regularly does site prep for large luxury homes, whether in Happy Valley or other areas in the PNW. Working with the builders and making sure everything is where it should be is standard. We utilize ariel laser mapping drones to ensure nothing is out of place. And of course, we don’t rest until the work is done to our satisfaction.

That may mean a lot of long days, but for us and our clients it’s worth it. We do the work the right way once so the builder and homeowner doesn’t have to worry about it ever again. If that sounds like the kind of company you want to do your custom home site prep, then reach out and we’ll discuss your unique needs.

Happy Valley, OR Fire Prevention

Combine the beautiful natural areas of Happy Valley with the large lots and love of nature, and what do you get besides a beautiful town? Unfortunately, there is also fire danger.

While the chances of a wildfire breaking out and spreading through the direct area are slim, our dry summers and heat waves create the perfect condition for an errant spark from a campfire or cigarette to smolder and create for more damage than possible. Fires thrive on the dry grasses and underbrush common in so many previously cleared tracts of land. While fire services here are top notch, when dry grass catches fire on your property, seconds feel like minutes.

Why not skip the whole issue and call Scott Tankersley Excavation for some fire prevention land clearing? By getting rid of the large (or even smaller) areas of unmanaged foliage that is dried out and ready for trouble, you’ll not only make it look better, but you’ll sleep better at night. Call today.

Happy Valley, OR Mulching

Living in such a beautiful town surrounded by amazing nature, one might be prone to consider getting a little involved themselves. Maybe you built a small garden. Maybe the garden grew a little bigger, then a little bigger. Maybe you let it get out of hand and now need a little help with it.

Or maybe you’ve got a commercial operation (big or small) and not only are you understaffed but your understaffing has got your regularly smooth-running operation a little behind. The mulching needs to be done, but it needs to be done right or your crops next year could suffer.

That’s when it’s time to call the excavation perfectionists. Scott Tankersley Excavation can apply the years of experience Scott had growing up on his family’s commercial produce farm with STE’s excavation equipment and make short order of your mulching requirements. Give us a call today and see how, with just a little help, your mulching problem can be quickly solved.

Happy Valley, OR Retaining Walls

The purposes of a retaining wall are widely varied. Sometimes it is a feat of engineering designed to turn a hillside into a useable plot of land. Other times it is used on a smaller scale to turn do the same for a front or back yard. Many retaining walls are executed in the reverse, holding back a hill or slope in order to make a useable area in front of them as opposed to on top.

However, one thing needs to be kept in mind with retaining walls – they are permanent structures that often need to hold back the massive force of earth behind them. Done right they’ll last for generations. Done wrong and they fail, leaving a literal and figurative mess to clean up.

Avoid the stress and trouble and call Scott Tankersley Excavation for all your retaining wall needs, large or small. They have the experience, expertise and equipment to build it right the first time, leaving you stress-free. Reach out today.
