Excavation & Trenching in Olalla, WA

Excavation in Olalla

We open ground in Olalla for our own line and drain work and for other contractors: pits at pinpointed leaks in 1970s and 80s polyethylene gone brittle, trenches for replacements across pasture parcels off Olalla Valley Road, footing drain exposures, conduit on build sites. Locates first, spoils on tarps, pumps when hardpan on Banner Road fills the pit, backfill in lifts.

Our excavation and trenching notes on Olalla say the same thing: expect 300-foot poly lines from well to farmhouse, expect outwash that drains and hides leaks on waterfront on Colvos Passage, expect a pressure tank draining with nothing on before anything visible near Al's Grocery.

Digging in Olalla means the glacier's leftovers: outwash that drains and hides leaks. For excavation and trenching the machine handles what shovels can't, and shovels handle what the machine shouldn't touch, which on waterfront on Colvos Passage is anything in a root zone or against a foundation near Al's Grocery.

Hardpan on Banner Road is the whole story of digging here. The mini excavator handles what shovels can't, and where the work is against a foundation or in a root zone on pasture parcels off Olalla Valley Road, shovels handle what the machine shouldn't. It fits a standard gate and works slopes near Burley.

Spoils on tarps or plywood, never on the lawn of small farms near Burley. Tracks on protection over outwash that drains and hides leaks. Trench walls watched. Small things that add up to a Olalla yard near Al's Grocery that looks like itself after excavation and trenching.

What to expect

The order is fixed: protect the site, manage water, restore. In Olalla the variables are bluff clay on Colvos Passage and well lines with no drawings under wooded acreage on Banner Road, and we've handled both near Olalla Bay enough to give an honest window for excavation and trenching.

We carry submersible pumps and hand tools for tight on every excavation and trenching call so nothing becomes a second visit to Fragaria. Scope in Olalla is set by bluff clay on Colvos Passage, wooded acreage on Banner Road and the condition of galvanized on Colvos Passage cabins.

We've seen a pressure tank draining with nothing on on waterfront on Colvos Passage near Al's Grocery and a far hydrant with no pressure by the Olalla Bridge. Both times the line was 300-foot poly lines from well to farmhouse, the ground was outwash that drains and hides leaks, and the fix was excavation and trenching done once.

Olalla coverage

We do excavation and trenching across all of Olalla, including around the Olalla Bridge, Olalla Bay and Fragaria. About forty minutes down Highway 16, and emergencies on wooded acreage on Banner Road dispatch immediately, any hour.
