Excavation

Orcas Island only

Make the property better, not just cleared.

Working with the island’s natural features, we shape beauty into the landscape and keep elemental flows in focus. We rarely use burn piles. Instead we compost, chip, and reuse materials from clearing land for houses — returning carbon to the soil and keeping our footprint small.

We have over 20 years of experience working with Orcas soils, trees, and rocks. We enjoy working with boulders, sculpting rock walls, placing stones thoughtfully, and shaping land for food production, water retention, stormwater management, beauty, play, and fire prevention.

Whether you need a new road into raw land, utilities for a new project, site prep, custom logging and milling, or ponds and water features, Cascadian Design-Build has the skills to get you there. Excavation services are offered on Orcas Island to homeowners and contractors.
