Hi, I’m Danny Martens, owner and operator of Bad Ass Excavation. When you hire us, you speak directly with the guy operating the machine—not a salesman, not a third-party broker, and not an overpriced crew.
I pride myself on being the most detail-obsessed guy on the planet when it comes to site work. I do what I say I will do, charge fair prices, and go the extra mile to work with folks even when money is tight.

"Had a busted sewer line nobody wanted to touch for under $10k. Danny came out, quoted me fair, and had it fixed in a day. Zero drama, great work."
"I needed a rock wall on a slope everyone else said was too tricky. These guys did it perfect. The wall looks incredible and held through the whole winter."
"Called at 8am, got a callback in 20 minutes. Quote was reasonable and the job was done by end of week. This is how a local operator should run."
"Worst drainage problem you could imagine in our backyard. Bad Ass graded it, installed swales, and now we have zero standing water."
