Residential excavation done right — on time, on budget, without the runaround. Based in Smithfield, UT.
What We Do
From drainage fixes to full site prep, we handle the digging so you don't have to. No project is too small — and most get done faster than you'd expect.
Yard drainage issues, uneven lots, and site preparation for new construction or landscaping projects in Cache Valley.
We locate and fix underground water line leaks — often faster and for a fraction of what specialty detection companies charge.
Irrigation lines, utility trenches, French drains — clean, precise digging that protects your property and yard.
Expanding a driveway, adding a parking pad, or improving your curb area — we've done it and we can do it for you.
Common area repairs, drainage fixes, and emergency response that saves your community money and headaches.
Adding an egress door or expanding basement access? We handle the dig so your contractor can do the rest.
Why RT Excavation
Tyler has a reputation for being on-site early and working until the job is done. No wondering when your crew is coming — they're already out there.
Rashelle handles scheduling personally. You get a real person, a real answer, and a timeline that actually works for you.
We're not a big operation with big overhead. That means competitive pricing without cutting corners on quality.
