Our Mission
At Osborne Excavation Inc., our mission is to provide professional excavation services with a small-town feel. In other words, we’re not a big corporation that does cheap work for more money and doesn’t actually care about their clients. We’re local stock, born and bred in the small towns of Oregon. We know the people here and their values, which we also share, like Quality, Experience, Expertise, Trust, and Family.
Corporate excavation companies may say they share those values, too, but they can’t say that they’re a part of the beautiful population of Oregon locals. We can. And we aim to always keep that spirit in the great work that we do, whether the project is residential or commercial.

A message from Stan Russell, the previous owner of Stan Russell Construction
“After working for us for several years, Travis knew and understood excavation. He is a hard worker and excellent with customers. Once I decided to sell my business to Travis, the transition was easy. He quickly learned and understood how to bid, schedule and work with individuals, companies and government agencies. Together with his wife who took over the bookkeeping portion of the business we have heard nothing but rave reviews. The business is in good hands.”
We are certified in ATT Standard Septic and Sand Filter Installation for Southern Deschutes County. We are also on the Approved Contractors List with MidState Electric and the Sunriver Homeowners Association.
Our Values
As a small-town excavation company, we’ve adopted several values over the years which have ushered us on our way to success.
The truth is that you can’t build a good reputation as an excavation company on sawdust and dreams, not if you want to maintain your integrity. You have to have principles and goals. Here are our most important ones.
Quality
Our customers value high quality, and so do we. At the end of every job, we want to look at our work and feel proud of what we’ve accomplished. That’s only possible if we make sure all our equipment, machinery, materials, and team members are operating at their best.
Attention To Detail
While some excavation companies may cut corners to save on time, or just out of sheer laziness, we always pay close attention to details. We know it’s the small things that matter in our services. One poorly installed part or a faulty bolt can lead to a whole list of major problems and a huge headache for the customer. That’s not how we do business at Osborne Excavation Inc.
Expertise
Expertise is key in excavation services. It prevents mistakes and produces better long-term results. That’s why all our team members are certified to operate heavy machinery and trained with the skills they need to do their jobs successfully.
Experience
Nothing makes you an expert in excavation services better than experience does. Fortunately, we have that in spades! Our owner and lead contractor, Travis Osborne, has been on the job since 1999. That’s over 20 years of learning his way around excavators, septic tanks, construction sites, demolition materials, and everything else we offer as part of our services. He also works with an incredible team, who benefit directly from his decades of experience.
Trust
Trust is not always an easy thing to earn for a business, and it’s even harder to keep. But we’ve worked hard and long to prove the value of our work, which is why folks in Southern Deschutes County and Northern Klamath County trust us to oversee their excavation projects. No matter the size or the type of project – residential or commercial – people in our area of service (and even outside) know that we are the excavation company to call.
Friendliness
In this day and age, many companies don’t prioritize friendliness as a value in their interactions with customers. That’s not how we feel. We still believe that being kind and personable is the preferred way to do business.
Family
Many of our clients who review our services say that we treat them like family. That’s because we take care of our clients’ needs like they’re family members. If you have any concerns or specific needs or wants regarding your excavation project, rest assured that we listen and accommodate wherever we can.
What Our Customers are Saying

We love working with Travis and his crew at Osborne Excavation Inc. We have always been treated like family and that is a good feeling!

Travis is very accommodating in working with the other construction timelines. He is thorough and very nice every time I speak with him. All work is done on time and per request. Very efficient.

I couldn’t be happier with the results in using Osborne Excavation Inc. for my septic replacement. They are professional and delivered quality work. Travis was very helpful and quick to respond, helping me understand the installation process. I’d highly recommend them for any of your excavating needs.
