Excavation Services Designed For Long-Term Use

We provide excavation services that prepare your property for real use, not just short-term results. Whether you are building a home or improving access to your land, we handle each phase with careful planning and consistent execution.

Septic system installation starts with site evaluation and soil conditions to ensure proper drainage and long-term function. Foundation excavation focuses on accurate grading and support so structures remain stable over time. Site preparation clears and levels the land so construction can begin without setbacks.

Driveway paving and graveling create solid access routes that hold up through changing conditions. Utility trenching is completed with proper depth and alignment, so essential systems function correctly. Gravel delivery ensures your project has the right materials when and where they are needed.

Our process keeps things simple:

  • Site evaluation and planning
  • Accurate excavation and grading
  • Careful installation or preparation
  • Final cleanup and site readiness

Deer Creek Excavating recently cleaned up a property of mine where a fire had destroyed a double wide trailer house. Even though he already had a full schedule Marcos and his crew were quick to the scene did high quality work at a reasonable price and completed the project on time. I would recommend Deer Creek for anyone who needs a project completed within the schedule for a reasonable price.

Deer Creek Excavating did a fantastic job on our property. Marcos was thorough with communication and making sure our vision came to light through his work, from start to finish. He even went out of his way to move some landscaping rocks for a feature wall. We are beyond happy with our new yard, and plan to use Deer Creek for future projects.

Deer Creek did a great job installing our new septic system. Plans and county/state restrictions can be complicated but Marcos flew right through the install and final inspection. No issues with the install. Would recommend Deer Creek every time. Marcos is friendly, a great communicator and does what he says he’ll do. Great Job!!!

If Samantha Can’t Get a Septic Permit Approved, It Just Can’t Be Done
I can’t say enough good things about Deer Creek Excavating. After months of running in circles trying to get septic approval for my property in Seeley Lake — even though it already had an approved COSA — I was getting nowhere. Every sanitarian I spoke with wanted to charge thousands and kept adding unnecessary extras just to drag things out. Then I found Samantha at Deer Creek Excavating, and everything changed. She was honest, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cared about helping us get through the process. She handled all the filings, coordinated the excavation work for the pit test, and kept me updated every step of the way. It took about 2.5 months of constant hoops, but she never gave up. In the end, she got our septic permit approved for a fraction of what we expected to spend. If Samantha can’t get it done, no one can. I’ll recommend Deer Creek to anyone in Seeley Lake needing septic help or excavation work — they’re the real deal.

My wife and I are new to Seeley Lake, Montana as of the new year and one of our first moves was hunting for a snow removal service for the winter and Deer Creek Excavating was, rightfully, the first name on a short list referrals we received from our realtor. Out of the gate this outfit met and exceeded my expectations with regard to responsiveness, communication and dependability.
Based on our initial experience over the winter it was a very easy decision this spring to bring DCE back in order to address reshaping and grading a large portion of land adjacent to our home. The work done on our property exceeded our expectations both in appearance and timeliness.
The owner or Deer Creek Excavating, Marco Arroyo is a veteran and he runs a tight ship. Between talent and professionalism this is an easy 5 STAR rating.

I’ve had Deer Creek excavation do a number of projects at my ranch from a foundation, to a septic system, to a water line trench. They are always professional, reliable, and great folks to work with. As a contractor myself, I highly recommend them for all your excavations needs.
