You bought the land for a reason. We clear the way to it.
Land clearing, grading, driveways and drainage on rural lots across Whatcom and Skagit counties. Owner-operated out of Bellingham, and the owner runs the machine.
What we do
Excavation work for rural lots and small acreage. If your project needs ground moved, shaped or opened up, it is probably on this list.

Land clearing and site prep
Brush and stumps out, a clean workable piece of ground left behind, prepped for whatever you are building.

Grading and driveways
Building pads, regrades and gravel driveways cut to hold their shape through a wet Northwest winter.

Drainage
Standing water and soggy ground usually trace back to grade. We find where the water wants to go and give it a path.

Trenching and utilities
Clean, straight trenches for water, power, communications and drainage lines, dug to depth and backfilled right.

Yard and garden rehab
Regrading torn up yards, garden ground, terracing and finish work that makes outdoor space usable again.

Compact machines, tight lots
Our compact excavators fit through gaps a full size machine cannot, so we can work a treed lot without flattening the trees you want to keep. That means less ground disturbance and access to sites bigger contractors pass on.
Where we work
Based in Bellingham, on the road most days across Whatcom and Skagit counties.

Run by the guy on the machine
Bellingham Excavation Co. is owner-operated and based in Bellingham. When you reach out, you hear back from the person who will run the excavator on your job. No estimator, no crew you have never met.
