Native Excavating

Our History

Since June of 1981, Native Excavating has been a cornerstone of the Yampa Valley construction industry. Born from the determination of Ed MacArthur, a skilled construction professional, and the administrative acumen of his wife, June, Native Excavating began humbly with a lone rubber-tired backhoe. Over the years, through tireless work and unwavering dedication to quality, Native Excavating has blossomed into one of the largest and most respected construction companies in Steamboat Springs. Ed and June's partnership proved to be the perfect recipe for success. Ed's expertise in construction, coupled with June's exceptional organizational and business skills, set the stage for the company's remarkable growth. Their unwavering commitment to the community and their clients has been instrumental in building Native Excavating's enduring reputation.
