Precision Excavation Built for Northern Nevada Projects
Every successful build starts with proper excavation. VG Construction provides professional excavation services throughout Gardnerville, Minden, Smith Valley, Yerington, Topaz Lake, and South Lake Tahoe, ensuring your project begins on solid, well-prepared ground.
From residential foundations to site grading and trenching, our excavation work is handled with accuracy, safety, and local code compliance—no shortcuts, no guesswork.
What We Mean by “Professional Excavation”
Excavation isn’t just moving dirt. It’s about understanding soil conditions, elevation, drainage, and structural requirements before construction begins.
Our excavation services are designed to:
Prepare sites correctly the first time
Prevent drainage and settling issues later
Support foundations, slabs, and structures long-term
We work closely with homeowners, builders, and engineers to ensure excavation aligns with the full scope of the project.
