About Getty Excavating, Inc.

At Getty Excavating, Inc., we believe experience, capable equipment, and dependable work make a difference on every excavation project. We are a family owned corporation based at 65 Hot Springs Road in Challis, Idaho, and we have been providing excavation and site development services since 1993.

A Family Owned Excavation Company Since 1993

Over the years, we have developed the capabilities to take on projects ranging from smaller residential jobs to substantial commercial, agricultural, water improvement, and public contracted work. Our goal is to provide customers with the excavation resources they need while approaching every project according to its individual site conditions, scope, and purpose.

Our years in the excavation industry have exposed us to projects of many different sizes and conditions. That experience matters because no two excavation sites are exactly alike. Terrain, soil, access, water, existing improvements, utilities, and the intended use of the property can all influence how a project should be approached.

We understand that excavation is often one of the earliest and most important stages of a larger project. The quality of the site preparation can affect what comes next, whether the property is being prepared for a foundation, basement, driveway, utility installation, irrigation system, pond, or another improvement.

Equipped for the Job

We maintain an extensive equipment fleet that gives us flexibility when planning and completing projects:

Licensed, Insured, and Ready to Work

Choosing an excavation contractor involves more than finding someone who owns heavy equipment. Customers need to know that the contractor they select has the experience and qualifications appropriate for the project.

Getty Excavating, Inc. is fully insured and licensed for public contracted jobs. We bring these professional qualifications to our work along with more than three decades of experience.

Our capabilities allow us to serve private residential customers as well as commercial, agricultural, and qualifying public projects. We understand that different projects have different requirements, which is why we focus on evaluating the work based on its actual scope rather than taking a single approach to every job.

From focused property improvements to extensive site work, we are prepared to discuss the needs of the project and determine how our equipment and excavation capabilities can help.

Why Experience Matters in Excavation

Excavation changes the land, which makes planning and experience important. Proper site work can influence drainage, accessibility, building preparation, utilities, water movement, and the long term function of the property.
