Top Rated Excavation Services in Dayton, Oregon
At Dirt Guys Excavating, we've been excavating and moving dirt for over 27 years. As a family-owned and operated business serving Dayton, McMinnville, and the surrounding areas, our passion for digging and reshaping the earth runs in our blood. From a young age, our owner Jeremy was drawn to the idea of playing in the dirt, a passion that only grew stronger during his eight years as a heavy equipment operator in the Marine Corps. As he likes to say, "My mother didn't let me play in the dirt, so I've dedicated my life to mastering the art of working in the dirt."
Things We Love About Dayton
Dayton holds a special place in our hearts – it’s not just where we work, it’s our home base. We’ve helped shape many parts of this growing community, from the historic downtown area to newer housing developments on the outskirts. Our excavation equipment is a common sight throughout Dayton’s neighborhoods, including Palmer Creek, Dayton Estates, and the farms along the Yamhill River. When we’re not moving dirt, we enjoy being part of this tight-knit community, whether attending the Dayton Friday Nights summer series or grabbing lunch at The Block House Cafe. From our vantage point on SE Fletcher Road, we’ve watched Dayton grow while maintaining its small-town character – something we’re proud to contribute to through our work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How quickly can you start an excavation project in Dayton?
For Dayton projects, our response time is typically faster than for other areas since we’re based right here. Small projects might be scheduled within a week, while larger jobs generally require 2-3 weeks’ notice. During emergencies like flooding, we prioritize helping our Dayton neighbors quickly. Call us at (503) 997-8412 to discuss your timeline needs.
What makes Dayton's soil unique for excavation work?
Dayton has several soil types depending on your location. Properties near the Yamhill River often have rich, silty soil that’s excellent for agriculture but requires careful handling during excavation. Higher elevation areas in Dayton might have more clay or rocky soil. Having worked in Dayton for years, we understand these local soil conditions and bring the right equipment for each unique property.
Do you help with drainage problems common in Dayton's flat areas?
Yes! Drainage issues are common in some Dayton neighborhoods, especially in flatter areas or properties near creeks. We provide solutions like French drains, swales, and proper grading to direct water away from structures and prevent pooling. Our familiarity with Dayton’s topography helps us design effective drainage systems for local conditions.
Can you coordinate with the City of Dayton for permits and inspections?
Absolutely. We have an established working relationship with Dayton’s Building Department and understand their requirements for excavation permits, especially for projects involving utilities or rights-of-way. We can help navigate the permitting process and coordinate inspections to ensure your project meets all local codes and regulations.
What size excavation projects do you handle in Dayton?
We handle excavation projects of all sizes in Dayton – from digging small foundations for sheds to preparing multi-acre sites for development. No job is too small or too large for our team. Being locally based gives us the flexibility to efficiently schedule both quick, small jobs and extended, complex projects throughout Dayton.
How do you protect existing landscaping during excavation work in Dayton?
We take special care to protect established trees, shrubs, and other landscape features on Dayton properties. Before starting work, we clearly mark protected areas, create access paths that minimize impact, and use equipment sized appropriately for the space. After completion, we clean up thoroughly and can even provide basic restoration of disturbed areas around the excavation site.
Can your excavation work accommodate Dayton's historic properties?
Yes, we have experience working with historic properties in Dayton. We understand the special considerations required when excavating near older homes and buildings, including potential archaeological concerns and fragile infrastructure. Our team uses appropriate techniques and equipment to protect these valuable properties while completing necessary excavation work.
