Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Burgoyne and the surrounding area since 1997. What started as a logging business became full-time excavation in 2020, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022.
Josh is on-site for almost every job personally. That’s not something you get with larger companies. When you hire us, you’re getting owners who care about the outcome, not just operators running equipment.
We know the local soil conditions, understand Burgoyne’s permit requirements, and have the right equipment for the rocky terrain common in this area. Our goal isn’t to be your cheapest option – it’s to be your excavator for life through quality work and honest service.
We start by visiting your property to evaluate conditions and understand exactly what you need cleared. During this visit, we identify any utilities, assess soil conditions, and create a clearing plan that works for your project.
Next, we handle the permit process. Most land clearing projects in Burgoyne require some form of approval, especially for significant vegetation removal. We’re familiar with local requirements and often handle applications directly, saving you time and ensuring everything’s filed correctly.
Then the clearing begins. Our crews remove trees and brush, grind stumps, and haul away all debris. We grade the site to your specifications, ensuring proper drainage and a level surface ready for construction. Your site is left clean and ready for whatever comes next.

Our land clearing service covers the complete process. Tree and brush removal, stump grinding, debris hauling, and final grading are all part of the job. You get a site that’s clean, level, and ready for the next phase of your project.
Most land clearing projects in Burgoyne require permits or approval, especially for significant vegetation removal. Requirements vary based on property size, environmental considerations, and local zoning. We guide you through this process and often handle applications directly.
All debris removal is included. We haul away cleared vegetation, stumps, rocks, and other materials. Depending on what we remove, materials are either recycled at appropriate facilities or disposed of according to local regulations. You won’t have debris stacks or burn piles left on your property when we’re finished.
Most land clearing projects in Burgoyne require some form of permit or approval, especially if you’re removing significant vegetation or changing drainage patterns. Requirements depend on your property size, environmental considerations, and local zoning rules.
We’re familiar with Burgoyne’s permit requirements and can guide you through the process. In many cases, we handle the permit applications directly, saving you time and ensuring everything’s filed correctly. It’s always better to check requirements upfront than deal with compliance issues later.
Getting permits right from the start prevents delays and potential fines. We know what documentation is needed and how to present your project to get approvals efficiently.
All debris removal is included in our land clearing service. We haul away cleared vegetation, stumps, rocks, and any other materials that come off your property during the clearing process.
Depending on the materials, we either recycle them at appropriate facilities or dispose of them according to local regulations. Organic materials often go to composting facilities, while other debris is disposed of properly. You won’t have burn piles or debris stacks left on your property.
This is different from some contractors who clear the land but leave cleanup to you. We handle the complete process so your site is clean and ready for the next phase of your project without any additional work on your end.
Timeline depends on the scope of work and weather conditions, but we give you realistic schedules upfront and stick to them. Most residential projects are completed within a few days to a week.
Factors that affect timing include the size of your property, density of vegetation, soil conditions, and whether we encounter rock that needs special removal. Weather can also impact scheduling, especially during wet conditions when equipment movement becomes difficult.
We plan each project carefully and communicate any potential delays before they affect your timeline. Our goal is to keep your overall construction project on schedule, so we coordinate timing with your other contractors when needed.
Rock is common in the Burgoyne area, and we’re equipped to handle it. Depending on the amount and type of rock we encounter, we may need to bring in specialized equipment for removal.
We evaluate soil conditions during our initial site visit, so rock removal is factored into your estimate upfront. If we encounter unexpected rock conditions during the work, we discuss options with you before proceeding. Our goal is to complete the excavation properly while managing any additional costs fairly.
Our experience in this area means we know what to expect from local soil conditions. We come prepared with the right equipment and approach each site knowing that rocky terrain is often part of the job in this region.
Yes, final grading is included in our land clearing service. We don’t just remove trees and brush – we prepare your site properly for construction with correct grading and drainage.
Poor grading creates water problems that show up later. Compacted soil leads to foundation issues. We approach every project thinking about the final result, which means proper slope management for drainage and soil preparation that supports construction loads.
The difference shows up months later when your foundation stays level, water drains properly, and you’re not dealing with problems that cheaper clearing jobs create. Professional grading is essential if you’re building anything on the cleared land.
We’re a family business where the owner, Josh, is present on almost every job personally. That level of personal attention isn’t something you get with larger companies or crews that just show up and run equipment.
We focus on building lasting relationships with our customers. Our goal is to be your “excavator forever” through quality work and honest service, not just competitive pricing. We handle permits, coordinate with utilities, and think about how the clearing affects your overall project.
Our equipment is well-maintained to prevent delays, our crews are fully licensed and insured, and we provide clear estimates with no hidden fees. We’ve been serving this area since 1997 and understand local soil conditions and requirements better than contractors from outside the region.
