Every successful project starts with a strong foundation—and that foundation begins with expert excavation.

Whether you’re a general contractor, business owner, homeowner, or municipality, you can rely on our team to deliver clean cuts, safe trenches, and a job site that’s prepped and ready.
We don’t just move dirt—we lay the groundwork for everything that comes after.

Whether you’re breaking ground on new construction, improving infrastructure, or adding a shop or addition to your property, Triple S Excavating brings the right tools and the right team to get the job done efficiently.
We serve both residential and commercial clients throughout Helena and nearby areas. Our key services include:
We dig to spec for basements, crawlspaces, garages, pole barns, and other structures. Every cut is made with structural integrity and site drainage in mind, avoiding overcuts and minimizing backfill costs.
Our crews create precise trenching for:
Water lines
Sewer and septic pipes
Gas lines
Electrical conduit and fiber installs
We coordinate with engineers, utility companies, and your builder to ensure code compliance and safe installation.
Need a gravel driveway or access road built on rural or undeveloped land? We grade for drainage, stabilize soft soil, and compact surfaces for long-lasting use.
Proper grading helps manage runoff, protect structures, and reduce long-term erosion. We shape the land to flow water away from your foundation and improve surface durability.
We also provide light land clearing, tree root removal, and install silt fencing or erosion barriers where required for environmental compliance.
