Snohomish & North King County
Most excavators can't drop your trees. Most tree services can't dig your foundation. DirtRaptor does both — because the owner has 20 years of hands-on tree and excavation experience and runs his own machines and his own trucks.

What We Do
Hiring three companies for one site means three schedules, three markups and three people to chase. We handle it end to end.
Foundation pits, footings, trenching, utilities, construction roads and building pads — dug to spec, inspected, and signed off.
Learn more →Raw and wooded lots made buildable. Brush, thinning, stumps and access handled by one crew instead of three.
Learn more →Arborist-led removal, thinning and stump grinding. Because the same crew runs the trees and the excavation, both happen on one mobilisation.
Learn more →Retaining walls, RV and equipment pads, and drainage correction that actually moves water away from the structure.
Learn more →Structures, slabs, outbuildings and hardscape taken down, sorted and hauled — with the site left ready for what comes next.
Learn more →Own trucks, own schedule. Spoil hauled off, material delivered, bins dropped — without waiting on a subcontractor.
Learn more →Why It Matters
Clearing a wooded lot normally means a tree service, then an excavator, then a hauling company. Three mobilisations. Three invoices. Weeks of waiting between them.
We drop the trees, grind the stumps, dig the site and haul the spoil — on our own equipment, on one schedule.
Not a subcontractor with a chainsaw. Proper assessment, proper felling.
Haul-off is not a line item we mark up. It is a truck we own.
You talk to the person doing the work, not a salesperson.
Permits, specs and inspections handled directly with the county.
How It Works
No mystery, no runaround. Here is how a DirtRaptor job runs, start to finish.
We come out, look at the actual ground, and give you a real number — not a phone guess.
You get a written scope with rock, groundwater and buried debris called out up front, never as a surprise later.
Trees, dirt and haul-off handled together on our own equipment and trucks. No waiting on subcontractors.
We hold grade to plan and stay through inspection so anything flagged gets fixed the same day.
Who We Work With
Clearing an overgrown lot, removing a hazard tree, digging a foundation, fixing a yard that will not drain. One crew that does all of it and hauls it away.
Site preparation that keeps your build on schedule — mass grading, utilities, stormwater and structural fill, with a crew that owns its trucks and does not stall on haul-off.
Local Experts
DirtRaptor is an owner-operated excavation and tree company based in Snohomish County. We clear lots and pastures, take down hazard trees, dig foundations and utility trenches, fix drainage with French drains and regrading, build retaining walls and gravel pads, tear down old sheds and driveways, and haul it all away on our own dump trucks.
Because one crew runs the trees and the dirt, a typical building site goes from standing timber to a dug, drained and graded foundation without waiting on a second or third contractor. It is the same crew, the same equipment and one schedule from the first tree to the last load.
Built For Local Ground
Most of south Snohomish County sits on dense glacial till that digs hard and drains poorly, which is why so many yards in Lynnwood, Mill Creek and Bothell stay wet all winter. River valleys around Snohomish, Monroe, Arlington and Stanwood are soft, wet and floodplain-mapped. The bluffs in Edmonds and Mukilteo need careful slope and drainage work.
Every city page on this site covers the local soil, water, trees and permit rules, so you know what to expect before we even walk the site.
Common Questions
DirtRaptor serves four Washington counties: Snohomish (home base), King, Skagit and Pierce. That covers Everett, Lynnwood, Bothell, Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Marysville, Arlington, Mount Vernon, Tacoma and the surrounding communities.
Yes — that is the whole point. The owner brings twenty years of tree experience and runs the excavation, so the trees come down, the stumps come out, and the site gets dug on one mobilisation. Most companies make you hire a tree service, an excavator and a hauler separately.
Both. Residential foundations, land clearing and tree removal, and commercial site preparation, mass grading, utilities and stormwater. The equipment and crew scale to the job.
Excavation cost depends on access, soil, volume and haul-off, so an honest number needs a look at the site. On-site quotes are free — send photos and a rough scope through the quote form and we come back with a real figure.
