About Haskins Excavating
Owner-operated excellence and an experienced crew serving Western Montana since 2005
Our Story:
Since 2005, Haskins Excavating has been synonymous with quality excavation and land services throughout Superior and Western Montana. What started as a one-man operation has grown into one of the region's most trusted names for residential, commercial, and environmental projects—but our commitment to hands-on, owner-operated service has never changed.
Owner Darin Haskins built this business on a simple philosophy: stay small enough to maintain complete control over quality, but capable enough to handle any project that comes our way. That means Darin personally oversees every job from the initial site visit to final cleanup. No project managers. No passing off responsibility. Just direct communication, consistent quality, and accountability from start to finish.
But exceptional work isn't accomplished alone. Our crew brings decades of combined experience to every project. From skilled equipment operators who can grade to the inch, to experienced truck drivers who navigate challenging terrain and tight timelines, every member of our team is a professional in their own right. We've built a crew that shares our commitment to precision work and takes genuine pride in what they do. When you hire Haskins Excavating, you're getting a team of experts who work together seamlessly.
For nearly two decades, we've earned our reputation one project at a time. From foundation excavation and utility installation to award-winning stream restoration work, we bring the same level of care and precision to every job—because when your name is on the business, every detail matters.
You work directly with Darin from your first call to project completion—no middlemen, no wondering who's actually responsible. But you also benefit from our experienced crew of operators and drivers who bring their own decades of expertise to your project. Every team member is skilled, professional, and committed to delivering exceptional results. This combination of owner oversight and crew expertise means you get both personal accountability and professional execution.
Owner-Operated With an Expert Crew
Local Expertise Since 2005
Nearly 20 years serving Superior and Western Montana means we know this land. We understand soil conditions, drainage patterns, weather challenges, and local regulations. We have established relationships with utility companies, inspectors, and other contractors that keep projects moving efficiently. Our experience—both Darin's and our crew's—means we anticipate problems before they happen and provide solutions that work.
Modern Equipment, Maintained Right
We invest in quality equipment and maintain it meticulously. Our fleet includes up-to-date excavators, graders, loaders, and specialized machinery that's ready when you need it. Well-maintained equipment means fewer delays, better precision, and professional results. Our operators know how to get the most out of every machine, and it shows in the finished work.
Standing Behind Our Work
We don't rush. We don't take shortcuts. We do it right the first time because our reputation—built over nearly two decades—depends on it. That means proper site prep, correct depths and grades, attention to drainage, thorough cleanup, and standing behind everything we do. From Darin's oversight to our crew's execution, everyone is invested in delivering work we're proud of.
Experienced Operators and Drivers
Our crew members aren't just running equipment—they're craftsmen with years of hands-on experience.

Their expertise is a direct reflection of our commitment to quality at every level.
