On the job · The High Country
Local, owner-operated, on the job himself.
Ethan Tucker is based in Laurel Springs and works the ground he grew up on. When you hire him, he is the one who shows up, looks at your site, and runs the machine. No crew you have never met, no manager between you and the work.
If it can be dug, graded, or hauled around these mountains, Ethan has probably done it.

You get Ethan, not a crew
When you hire Ethan, Ethan is who shows up. He looks at the job, gives you the price, and runs the machine himself. You are not handed off to somebody you have never met.
Over ten years on these mountains
Ethan has worked the High Country for more than ten years. He knows where the rock sits, how the water runs, and what it takes to make a driveway or a pad hold on a steep lot.
A straight price, up front
He comes out, looks at the work, and gives you a number. What he quotes is what you pay. No runaround.
He shows up when he says
If Ethan tells you Tuesday, he means Tuesday. He knows your other crews are waiting on the dirt work to get done.
Word from his customers.
Ethan did an awesome job repairing the drainage issue on the road into my cabin, correcting the elevation on my driveway and creating two parking areas for me. He is very dependable, does what he says, and is reasonably priced. If you have any type of road work or driveway work you need done, give Ethan a call. You will be glad you did.
100% satisfied with all aspects of his business. Hope to use him in the future.
