What We Do
Site work built on 24 years of getting it right.
Excavation & Site Work
Grading and site prep that gets the ground ready to build on, from a single homesite to a full commercial pad.
Trenching
Utility and irrigation trenching cut clean and to grade, concrete-lined where the job calls for it.
Backhoe Service
A backhoe and an operator who shows up on time, ready to move dirt the day you need it moved.
Concrete Pour Prep
Forms set and ground prepped so the crew is placing concrete within minutes of the trucks pulling in.
The Operator
Scott Wightman has been running this equipment since 2001.
Wight Excavating and Backhoe Service is a one-owner operation out of Wheatland. Scott holds an active California General Engineering Contractor license and has spent close to a quarter century on job sites across Yuba County, from small residential pours to large commercial foundations.
Customers keep coming back for the same reason: he shows up when he says he will, and the work is done with an eye for detail that only comes from doing this for a living. One longtime customer put it simply, that Scott has "an eye for detail and extremely knowledgeable on all levels of site work."
