Burlington Homeowner
Used Baxter's for site prep on our new shop build. Honest, professional, and the equipment is dialed in. Highly recommend.
Skagit County
Fixed our drainage problems that two other companies couldn't figure out. Yard finally drains properly after every rain.
Repeat Client
Culvert and driveway regrade went smooth. They handled the whole process and left the yard cleaner than they found it.
Neighbor
Land leveling for our pasture turned out beautiful. Fair pricing, clear communication, and quality work. Will use again.
Property Owner
Cleared a heavily wooded lot for us. Stumps, brush, the works. Tree removal paired with the excavation saved us a ton of time.
