Excavation, Grading & Drainage in Santa Clarita, CA
Compact machine, tight yards, clean work.
MRB Excavation — family-owned, based in Acton, running a CAT 305 mini excavator. Free, no-pressure estimates.

Santa Clarita lots are tighter than out in Acton — side yards, block walls, and finished landscaping. That's where a CAT 305 mini excavator shines: enough power for real dirt work, small enough to fit through gates.
We work in Canyon Country, Saugus, Newhall, and Valencia on backyard grading, drainage corrections, trenching, and excavation for pools and hardscape.
What the ground is like in Santa Clarita
Side-yard drainage
Water trapped between the house and a block wall is one of the most common calls. A shallow swale, corrective grade, or French drain usually solves it.
Hillside and slope lots
Canyon Country and Sand Canyon properties often have slopes that shed water toward the house; grading and swales redirect it.
Finished yards
We protect existing hardscape and landscaping, and plan access before the machine comes in.
