The owner runs the machine

Bellingham Excavation Co. is a small, owner-operated excavation outfit based in Bellingham and working across Whatcom and Skagit counties. When you send the form on this site, the reply comes from the person who will be in the seat when the digging starts.

The machines are compact excavators, chosen for the ground we work: tight, treed, often sloped lots where a big machine does as much harm as good. The photos across this site show the kind of finish we aim for on every job.

We keep the crew small on purpose. The person who walks your property and quotes the job is the person who does it, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the excavator.

Bellingham Excavation Co. operates alongside Bellingham Septic Co. under Strong Construction. If your project involves an onsite sewage system as well as clearing or grading, one contractor can carry both sides of the work. The link is in the footer.
