Excavation Perfectionists

in banks, or

Banks may seem like one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it towns common across the great state of Oregon, but like many similarly sized towns, there’s much more beneath the surface. Hub to a thriving community of nearby homeowners, farmers, loggers and businesspeople in the area, it’s also the start of some really great hiking trails and wilderness areas.

Scott Tankersley Excavation knows the area well. Headquartered in neighboring North Plains, we know there’s a lot more happening in the hills and outlying areas than meets the eye. How do we know? Because we do a fair amount of work in the area, from custom home site prep to commercial excavation to land clearing and fire prevention (always an issue out here). If you’re looking for excavation perfectionists who know the area, your search has ended.

Live in Oregon long enough and you’ll have packed a bag or two during wildfire season, just in case.

What can you do? Simple. Call Scott Tankersley Excavation for an evaluation of your property and situation. We’ll come out, take a look, and if warranted, we’ll go through and dig things up to the point where fire isn’t an issue. Call today and get started on the path to peace of mind. 

Banks, OR Mulching

Big or small, mulching can be hard work. It doesn’t matter if the area is a small backyard garden plot or acres and acres of a commercial farm, everything is relative. If the job looks big and difficult to you, then the job is going to be big and difficult.

Sometimes you just need an extra set of eyes and maybe several extra sets of hands. And maybe some heavy-duty excavation equipment to quickly and easily move everything around. Oh, and maybe a crew with experience mulching that goes back decades.

In other words, you need Scott Tankersley Excavation. With our years of experience, and the fact that Scott grew up on a produce farm and knows a thing or two about mulching, you know we’ll make short work of your mulching conundrums. Give us a call today and get on the path that leads you past this problem and onto a better state of mind.

Banks, OR Retaining Walls

Retaining walls do a lot more than just look pretty for landscaping. From turning a sloping piece of land into something more useable to holding back a hillside so that a more useful area can be created, they are complex structures that need both knowledge and experience to build.

Scott Tankersley has been building retaining walls for more than a decade. Proper drainage, choosing the correct type of wall for the project, the right materials, choosing between boulders or concrete blocks, the correct placement and back fill – it’s a complex engineered process that takes knowledge and experience. After more than a decade in business, Scott and his crew have both.

Call STE to discuss your retaining wall project today.

Land Clearing in Banks, OR

While nature is beautiful and there is a certain mystery to land overgrown with any of the native species of plants and brush in the area, it may not be so beautiful when the same brush is growing over land you’d like to use. Even worse, if the brush and shrubs are taking over, then it might be time to give the excavation perfectionists a call to help with your Banks, OR land clearing project.

Excavation requires one important thing – we have to be able to see the land before we begin to excavate. This means we have the expertise and the special equipment to tear through the thickest of thickets and the densest of underbrush in no time at all.

Whether you need to clean out a woodlot to plant more trees, clear off an overgrown pasture so your stock can use it or pass through it or you just want to muck out the overgrown areas on your property for aesthetic sake, give Scott Tankersley Excavation a call. We’ll help you find a solution to your unique land clearing project for your Banks, Oregon property.
