A family business, down to the dirt.
Velasco Excavating is owned and run by the Velasco family. No call center, no franchise playbook, just the people whose name is on the truck, doing careful work for our Sacramento and Bay Area neighbors.
Built on showing up and doing it right.
We started Velasco Excavating on a simple idea: treat every backyard like it’s our own, quote honestly, and never cut the corner you can’t see. That last part, proper backfill and compaction, is where we built our reputation.
Today we help families across Sacramento and the Bay Area reclaim space from old pools, dig the foundation for new ones, and handle the earthwork that bigger jobs depend on. We’re small enough that you talk to the owners, and experienced enough to get it right the first time.

The values under every job.
Family-run
When you call, you reach the family, not a script. We’re accountable because our name is on it.
Licensed & insured
Fully licensed, bonded, and insured in California. We pull the permits and keep every job above board.
Do the unseen work
Compacted backfill, proper drainage, clean grades. The stuff you can’t see is the stuff we obsess over.
Honest quotes
Itemized, written, and stuck to. The number we hand you is the number you pay, barring changes you approve.
Respect your property
We protect access, contain the mess, and leave the site swept. You’ll know we were careful.
Local & invested
We live and work here. Your neighbors are our clients, and word of mouth is our livelihood.
Credentialed, covered, and accountable.
Hire with confidence. We carry what a professional excavation outfit should, and we’re glad to show proof.
