What We Do

Services Built on Hard Work & Honesty

Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it's a residential driveway or a commercial site prep. Here's what we specialize in:

Grading & Leveling

Proper grading prevents water damage, protects foundations, and sets the stage for everything built on top. We get it right the first time.

Foundation Dig-outs

Residential and light commercial foundation excavations done with care for utility lines, drainage, and structural integrity.

Land Clearing

Trees, brush, rock — we clear it so your build can begin. Whether it's a wooded lot or an overgrown pasture, we make it ready.

Driveways & Access Roads

Gravel, crushed stone, or dirt — we build durable driveways and access roads that hold up through Missouri weather.

Septic & Drainage Systems

Septic tank installations, French drains, and storm water management — critical systems that need to be done right.

Site Preparation

Before the builders arrive, we're here. Site prep including utility trenching, compacting, and rough grading for any project size.

About Us

Rooted in West Plains. Committed to Every Dig.

Simpson Excavating is a family-owned operation right here in West Plains. We started with a single machine and a reputation for showing up on time — and that hasn't changed.

The Ozarks demand tough, thoughtful work. Rocky soil, steep slopes, unpredictable drainage — we've seen it all. That's why homeowners and contractors alike trust us to handle the ground work before the framing crew arrives. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just honest, dependable excavation.
