Excavation & Grading in Ojai

Valley oaks and boulder-strewn foothills — digs planned around trees, rock, and Ojai's aesthetic. Salas Excavating brings pool digs, pad grading, trenching, pool removal, and dirt hauling to Ojai — licensed (CSLB #752427), insured, with our own trucks.

Ojai at a glance: Ventura County · Projects permit through the City of Ojai (unincorporated pockets go through the county) · 20–50 minutes from Simi Valley. Coastal-plain and river-valley soils generally dig clean, and ag parcels add clearing, pads, and long utility runs to the mix. High groundwater near the coast is the local wrinkle — we plan digs around it.

Ojai questions

Do you actually serve Ojai from Simi Valley?

Yes — Ojai is 20–50 minutes from Simi Valley. Site visits and written quotes are free, and we're honest if a job is too small to justify the mobilization.

Does groundwater affect pool digs near the coast?

It can in low-lying areas — a high water table means dewatering planning with your pool builder. We flag the risk at the site visit; it's manageable when planned and miserable when discovered.
