Excavation Perfectionists

in hillsboro, OR

From its reputation as “Sin City” in the 19th century to its well-mannered streets and lawns of today, Hillsboro has grown and advanced with the times. The melding of the past, present and future is one of the reasons STE loves excavation projects in the area – we’re always finding either impressive old buildings or exciting new features we didn’t know about before.

Custom Home Site Preparation in Hillsboro, OR

The continuing balancing act between old and new is something we take seriously in the excavation work we do, especially when it comes to site preparation for your Newberg, OR home. Preparing a piece of land to build a home that will last one hundred years or more is something that needs to be done right the first time. There are no second chances, no do-overs.

Scott Tankersley understands this and embraces it. His family has been working in Oregon dirt for over sixty years. The work he and his crew perform must stand the test of time, not only so that the house can still be standing one hundred years later, but also so that the Tankersley name continues to be a symbol of hard work and excellence.

That may sound like a heavy burden, but Scott Tankersley Excavation wouldn’t have it any other way. Call today, or reach out on our contact form, if this sounds like a company you’d like to work with.

Hillsboro, OR Fire Prevention

While wildfires may be a recurring issue in summertime for the PNW, it’s not something that commonly springs to mind when thinking about Hillsboro. However, as the residents of the city increasingly push outward into the surrounding beautiful area, the possibility of homes being in danger from even small wildfires increases.

Fire prevention for your Hillsboro, OR home or property is something that needs to be regularly evaluated and, if a concern, addressed. Fires love the small underbrush and young trees that dry out in our periodic heat waves and lack of summer rain. Once a spark gets in there, that could be all she wrote.

Having Scott Tankersley Excavation come and help mitigate the fire danger on your own property isn’t just a good idea, it’s smart thinking. By helping to ensure the fire danger on your property and around your home is as low as possible, you’re helping not just yourself but your neighbors and community as well.

Call today so we can come take a look at your situation and see if you and your Hillsboro, OR property would benefit from our fire prevention services.

Hillsboro, OR Mulching

Excavation work isn’t just about digging in the ground (although that’s a large, fun part of it). The equipment Scott Tankersley Excavation uses also has the ability to turn large areas of overgrown brush, small trees, thickets and even bamboo into an area of useable mulch. You don’t even have to cut it down – we’ll do the work for you.

Have an overgrown thicket of blackberries on your property? We’ll take care of it. Need to go through an area and till up everything in order for it to grow better? We’ll take care of it. Need to spread the mulch you’ve already got? Give us a call today. We’ll bring our equipment and experience to bear on your mulching problem.

Hillsboro, OR Retaining Walls

Like so many other excavation projects, retaining walls are the kind of thing you need to get done right the first time around. Why? Because doing it wrong means things don’t stay in place as they should. And when retaining walls fail, there are often tons and tons of earth being held back that now… isn’t.

Scott Tankersley Excavation has been moving dirt and earth for more than a decade. That means countless tons of earth moved from one place to another, flattened, graded and relocated just so. It also means more than a decade of experience in making sure the dirt, earth and rocks that get moved into place stay exactly where they should.

Whether your Hillsboro, Oregon, retaining wall project is small or massive, your first call should be to the excavation perfectionists. Scott makes sure every job is done right the first time so that his clients never have to worry about it again. If this sounds like the kind of company you’d like to have working for you, give us a call. You’ll be glad you did.

Land Clearing in Hillsboro, OR

Overgrown land happens, like most things, slowly. Perhaps it starts with disinterest or an injury that prevents the bushes and brush from being kept back. Maybe the people hired to take care of it didn’t do their job well enough and it just grew from there. Or maybe you’ve acquired a plot of land that hasn’t been touched in a decade or two.

Regardless of the situation, the solution to the problem is calling Scott Tankersley Excavation. Excavating plots of land requires getting rid of any overgrown brush first before the land itself can be seen and worked on. That same equipment can just as easily be used to clear off the mounds of overgrown blackberries on your land, whether we’re talking about acres and acres or a few small patches.

Call Scott Tankersley Excavation today to discuss your large or small land clearing concerns. You’ll be glad you did.
