From foundation digs to pond construction, I work clean, accurate, and on schedule — and I run every job myself.
When you need excavation work done, you need it done right the first time. A bad dig costs you time, money, and headaches down the road — whether that's a foundation that doesn't drain correctly, a utility trench that settles and breaks the line, or a site that wasn't cut to grade and has to be redone. I've been running equipment in Montana for years, and I take every job seriously because my name is on it.
When you hire Timberline Siteworx, I'm the one showing up — not a crew you've never met. I walk every job with the same attention I'd want on my own property, and I don't cut corners to get to the next job faster.
I handle a wide range of excavation work for homeowners, landowners, and contractors across the Helena area. Whether you're breaking ground on a new home, putting in a shop, or need a pond dug on your rural property, I have the equipment and experience to get it done.
Foundation digs have to be done to exact dimensions and depth. Too shallow and you've got frost heave problems. Too wide and you're wasting backfill material and compaction time. I take the measurements seriously and cut clean walls so your foundation crew can do their job without dealing with a sloppy dig.
I've done foundation excavation for full basements, crawlspaces, slab-on-grade pads, and everything in between. If there's rock in the ground — which there often is in Montana — I have the equipment to break it and remove it without blowing your timeline.
Digging a pond is more than just moving dirt. You need the right shape, the right depth, and the right slope on the banks to keep it from eroding or draining out. I've built retention ponds, livestock water ponds, and sediment basins throughout the Helena area, and I know how to read the ground and build something that actually holds water the way it's supposed to.
A lot of excavation companies send out a crew — you talk to the office, they send whoever's available, and you hope for the best. That's not how I work. When you call Timberline Siteworx, you're talking to me. When we agree on the job, I'm the one running the machine. I make the calls on the ground in real time, and if something unexpected comes up, you hear about it from me directly — not through a middleman.
That matters more than people realize. Excavation jobs almost always have surprises — rock you didn't expect, wet conditions, utilities that weren't marked where the plans said. Having the owner on the machine means those issues get handled with experience and judgment, not guesswork.
I'll come out and walk the site with you before I touch anything. We'll talk through exactly what you need, I'll ask the right questions, and I'll give you a straight quote — no hidden charges, no vague estimates that balloon once I'm on the job. If the scope changes, I call you before I do anything extra.
I'm based in Helena and work throughout the surrounding area. If you're not sure whether I cover your location, just call me — I'll tell you straight whether I can get there and what travel looks like for more remote jobs.
