Excavation Services in Abbotsford & Central Wisconsin

Why Property Owners Choose ERE Excavation

Local, not a dispatch service. You're working directly with the crew that shows up to your property, not a call center subcontracting the job out.


We know Central Wisconsin ground. Heavy clay soil, spring thaw runoff, and wooded acreage all behave differently than they do anywhere else — we've been solving those specific problems here for years.


Right equipment for the job. From forestry mulchers to mini excavators, plus a dedicated heavy equipment division for large-scale work like pond restoration and oversized stump removal — we bring the right machine to the job instead of forcing one to do everything.


Straight answers. You'll get a real estimate and timeline up front, not a runaround.


We clean up after ourselves. A finished job means the site is left usable, not just "done."

Insured & Ready to Work

ERE Excavation is fully insured, and our operators hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for hauling and equipment transport. We're a working excavation crew, not a licensing showcase — our reputation is built on the jobs we finish, not a wall of badges. If a certification or license is required for your specific project (a municipal bid, for example), let us know and we'll confirm what applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What areas does ERE Excavation serve?

    We're based in Abbotsford, WI and regularly work throughout Marathon, Clark, and Wood counties, including Marshfield, Colby, Stratford, Spencer, and Wausau. For larger projects — land clearing, drain tile, demolition — we travel up to 100 miles, covering areas like Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, and Eau Claire.

  • How do I get an estimate?

    Call (715) 613-0011 or fill out our contact form. For most jobs we'll walk the property with you before giving a firm estimate, since soil, access, and scope vary a lot from site to site.

  • Do you handle both residential and agricultural properties?

    Yes — we work with homeowners, farmers, hunters, and businesses. Drain tile, land clearing, and trenching in particular come up often for both farm and residential properties.

  • Do you work with municipalities and businesses, or just homeowners?

    All three. Our excavation and drainage services are each built to handle residential, commercial, and municipal projects.

  • How far in advance should I schedule a project?

    It depends on the season — spring drainage work and land clearing before hunting season both get busy. The earlier you call, the more flexibility we'll have on timing.

  • Do you offer emergency or storm cleanup services?

    Yes, we handle storm cleanup and debris removal as part of our additional services. Call (715) 613-0011 to check current availability.
