Salas Excavating digs swimming pools and builds homesite pads across Ventura and LA counties — precision excavation, our own trucks for haul-off, and a 25+ year local reputation for showing up on time and digging it right the first time.
Concept visualization. Real Salas dig footage coming — see the project gallery.
Digs to the builder's print — steps, benches, over-dig — with haul-off included. 1–3 days for most digs.
Pool excavation →Compact machines through 5-ft gates, conveyor off-haul, and crane digs for no-access backyards.
Tough yards →Raw lot to certified pad — cut/fill, compaction in tested lifts, ADU prep, fire-rebuild grading.
Grading →Keyways, engineered slopes, terracing, and slope repair to your engineer's plan.
Hillside work →Utilities, footings, French drains — DigAlert-coordinated, cut to depth and grade.
Trenching →Partial fill-ins, full removals with engineered backfill, concrete demo, dirt in/out.
Pool removal →A pool dig that's out of spec costs everyone downstream — extra gunite, fighting steel, blown schedules. Our holes match the dig sheet, which is why pool builders bring us back dig after dig.
We haul with our own dump trucks. Spoil leaves the day it's dug and your project never waits on a trucking broker's dispatch board.
Santa Susana granite, Conejo volcanics, valley alluvium — after 25+ years digging this region we usually know what's under your yard before the first bucket, and we price it honestly up front.
