With an in-house team, we provide efficient, high-quality excavation services and ensure every project runs smoothly. Services are currently available only in the Lake of the Ozarks region.
Partnering with Mike: Excavation Services in Lake of the Ozarks
In the early years of our company, Mike was a valued member of our landscaping team, helping lay the foundation for the quality and craftsmanship we’re known for today. Driven to expand his expertise, he later pursued a career in excavation—working with several unions and gaining extensive experience in grading, excavation, and pipeline installation.
As our company grew, demand from homeowners, builders, and contractors in the Lake of the Ozarks area for dependable excavation services continued to rise. Recognizing this need, Scott and Mike reunited to bring their combined experience and commitment to excellence back to the Lake area.
With over 25 years of experience in landscaping and excavation, Mike delivers precision, knowledge, and professionalism to every project. Together, we’re proud to now offer high-quality excavation services for residential and commercial clients throughout the region.
