Excavation & Road Maintenance for Rural Northern Nevada
Dirt & Diesel Excavation provides road maintenance, ranch and rural site work, septic, and land clearing across Lyon and Storey counties, including Dayton, Fernley, and Stagecoach. Out here the properties are larger, the roads are longer, and the nearest contractor is often far away, and that is the kind of work we are built for. We are a family-owned, licensed, insured, and bonded Nevada contractor equipped for rural and remote sites.
We show up equipped to work remote sites and we know how to build and maintain the long dirt and gravel roads these properties depend on. That means crowning and grading for proper drainage, setting culverts where water actually moves, and addressing problem areas before a storm turns them into a washout. On large acreage, we plan access, grading, and drainage across the whole property rather than one spot at a time.
For you, that experience means roads and improvements that hold up to real use and weather, and a contractor who is genuinely equipped and willing to work where the job is.
