Chelan, WA / Owner operated / L&I BACKCEL741L2
Site prep, grading, driveways, trenching and clearing from raw ground to finish grade. You deal directly with Logan and Kenny, the people running the machine.
Serving Chelan, Wenatchee and Leavenworth, out to Omak and Quincy, and everything in between.
What we do
Eleven kinds of ground work, from the first cut on raw land to finish grade. Pick one to see what it involves.
Our work
Every photo is one of our own jobs. Pick a service to see what it involves.
Before and after
Every photo is one of our own jobs. Nothing staged, nothing borrowed.
Finished work
After the machine leaves
Nobody looks at the ground work once the house is standing. That’s the point.
Done wrong, a pad settles and water sits against the foundation. Done right, you never think about it again. That’s the result we achieve every time.
Why people hire us
You won’t get handed off to an estimator or a call center. Everything we tell you about the company can be checked with the state before you hire us.
Owners on the machine
Logan and Kenny own the company. The person who looks at your site is the person doing the work, so nothing gets lost between an estimator and a crew.
Access first
A lot of site problems start before any dirt moves, like a machine too big for the driveway or nowhere to pile the spoils. We work that out with you up front.
Clear numbers
You get told what the work involves, what we’re unsure about and what would change the number. If something turns up mid job, you hear about it before it turns up on an invoice.
Property respected
Gates get shut, ruts get repaired, and material doesn’t get left where it will bother you or your neighbors. We’d rather spend the extra hour than leave a mess behind us.
Where we work
Each core sample shows the kind of ground you hit there, from the notes on that town’s page. The dashed line is frost depth.
Chelan County
Chelan is home. It’s also where a lot of the hardest ground in the valley is, and most of what makes a job here difficult shows up before the first bucket of dirt moves.

Manson sits on the benchland along the north shore, and a lot of the ground there has been orchard at some point. That changes what’s under the surface.

Entiat runs from the Columbia back up a narrow river valley, and properties up that valley tend to be long on ground and short on easy access.

Wenatchee mixes town lots with orchard and acreage on the edges, and the two need very different approaches on the ground.

Cashmere, Monitor and Dryden sit on the Wenatchee River bottom. Bedrock is a hundred feet down, so the digging problems come from what the river and the floods left on top of it.

Leavenworth, Peshastin, Plain and Lake Wenatchee sit on some of the deepest loose ground in the state. The boulders mixed through it are what make jobs there hard.

The Methow is cobble and boulder country. Twisp, Winthrop, Carlton and Mazama all sit on it, and it’s the reason a trencher is usually the wrong tool up here.

Omak and Okanogan sit on stacked glacial lake terraces. Which terrace you’re on decides what the job actually is.

Brewster, Bridgeport and Pateros sit on the Great Terrace of the Columbia. It’s layered, inconsistent ground that was stacked up against a wall of ice, and no two digs there go the same way.

Quincy sits on the floor of the Quincy Basin, on Ice Age flood gravel over basalt. Caliche and sand are the two things that catch people out here.

The Waterville Plateau is easy ground to work on top of and hard ground to dig into, because of what sits about two feet down.

Questions
Most residential and small commercial ground work, yes: site prep, foundations, driveways, trenching, drainage, clearing and walls. If a job needs a bigger machine or a specialty crew, we tell you on the first call so you’re not left waiting on us.
It depends on access, how much material has to move, what’s under the surface and whether spoils stay on site or get hauled off. After a site visit you get a written scope and price. How an estimate works explains what changes a number.
We walk the way in with you first and agree what has to be protected. The machine runs on rubber tracks, which are easier on lawn and pavement than steel. Soft or wet ground can still take marks, so any ruts we make get fixed before we leave.
We do, before we open ground. It’s the law in Washington and it’s free. Private lines like irrigation, septic or power to a shop aren’t marked by 811, so tell us what you know.
