Where We Work
Crockett based, serving all of East Texas, from Houston County out to Lufkin, Palestine, Trinity and beyond.
Gardner Excavating runs out of Crockett and works all across the East Texas piney woods. Because we are local and family-owned, you get a fair price and a crew that treats your place like their own.

View areaLocal, And Proud Of It
Being based in Crockett is the whole reason we can serve East Texas well. In this business, distance costs money, every mile the iron has to travel ends up somewhere in your bill, which is why a company driving in from Houston or Tyler can rarely match a local family outfit on a straightforward job. We are already here, in the heart of the piney woods, so getting to your place in Crockett, Grapeland, Lufkin, Palestine or Trinity is quick and fair.
Local also means we know the ground and the folks. We understand how East Texas sand and clay behave, how the rain moves across this country, and how to build a pond that holds or a pad that stays flat on it. And after 35+ years, chances are we have worked near you, for a neighbor, and we are glad to point you to it.
Towns And Country We Serve
Our regular range covers Crockett and all of Houston County, plus Grapeland, Lovelady, Palestine, Lufkin, Trinity, Huntsville and the ranch and timber country in between. Whether you are in town or a long way down a county road, we bring the iron to you.
Weather And Timing
Dirt work is weather-dependent, and East Texas gives us plenty of it. We work year-round when the ground allows, and we will always give you a straight answer on timing. Not sure if you are in our range? Do not guess, just call, and if we can get equipment to your place, we will come look and give you a free quote.
One Local Number, All Of East Texas
Whether you are a rancher out in Houston County, a family building a home near Lufkin, a landowner clearing a tract by Palestine, or anyone with dirt to move around Trinity or Grapeland, you reach the same family crew at the same number: (936) 546-8305. No call centers, no runaround, just the folks who will actually do the work, ready to come look at your place and give you a free, fair quote. That kind of local, honest service is exactly how Gardner Excavating has kept East Texas folks coming back for 35+ years.
