Davidson Excavating is a family-owned and operated excavation company serving Placer County and the surrounding area. Built on generations of hands-on experience, our work is rooted in the kind of practical knowledge you only get from time on the equipment and years on real jobsites—not shortcuts.

Owner-operator Jacob Davidson personally oversees every job, working closely with homeowners, builders, and contractors to keep projects moving smoothly. We’re also regularly referred by septic designers—a trust earned through precision, clear communication, and the ability to coordinate seamlessly with plans, inspectors, and other trades on site. Clients choose Davidson Excavating for reliability, honest answers, and quality workmanship they can feel confident building on.

We’re a licensed California contractor, fully insured and bonded, and we offer free estimates. To provide an accurate quote, we typically need the property address, a description of the project, access details, and any photos, plans, permits, or septic designs you may have. Timelines vary based on scope, site conditions, and permitting, but we communicate expectations clearly before work begins—and we stand behind our work with pride.

If you’re planning a new build, replacing a septic system, or preparing land for development, Davidson Excavating is ready to help—starting from the ground up.
