Excavation, Septic & Site Development in Carson City & Carson Valley
Dirt & Diesel Excavation provides septic, site development, road work, and land clearing across Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, and the Carson Valley. This is rural and ranch country, where many properties sit on acreage, on septic, and beyond city services, and that is the kind of work we are built for. We are a family-owned, licensed, insured, and bonded Nevada contractor with deep experience on rural and foothill properties.
We understand how the regional conditions shift from valley floor to foothill. We plan septic, grading, drainage, and access around the ground each property actually has.
