Excavation & Land Services in Colby, WI
Ditching, driveways, culverts and hunting land work from a crew based just a few minutes away.
Colby is one of the closest towns to our shop — ERE LLC Excavation is based at 233119 County Road F in neighboring Abbotsford, just a few minutes from Colby in either direction. When you call us for a job here, our equipment doesn't have far to travel.
That matters out here. Farm fields need to drain before planting. Driveways wash out after spring thaw. Hunting land needs trails and food plots ready before fall. We've done all of that for our neighbors in Colby, and we'd be glad to do it for you.
Whether it's a small ditch to dry out a low corner of a field or a full driveway tear-out and rebuild, you'll get the same crew, the same care, and straight answers on cost and timing.

Agricultural Waterway Ditching, Colby
We cut a ditch to carry water through a field along a natural waterway. It gets runoff off the cropland instead of pooling in low spots.
Driveway Tear-Out & Rebuild, Colby
This driveway had failed down to the base. We tore it out, repaired the soft subgrade, and built a new driveway on a solid foundation so it holds up through freeze and thaw.
Erosion Control Ditching & Hunting Blind Setting, Colby
We ditched to stop erosion on the property, then set the owner's hunting blind while our equipment was on site.
Food Plot Drainage Ditching, Colby
A food plot that stayed wet wasn't producing. A drainage ditch keeps it dry enough to plant and grow.
Barn Post Replacement Augering, Colby
We augered new post holes for a barn post replacement. We also brought in a concrete hammer to break through old concrete in the way.
Drain Line Installation, Colby
We installed a drain line to carry water away from where it was causing problems.

Built for Colby Ground
The land around Colby is mostly flat farm country, and water doesn't always have somewhere to go. That's why so much of our local work is ditching, waterways, drain lines and post hole work. Getting water off a field or a food plot is often the first step before anything else holds up.
We also know the other side of life here. Dairy and crop farms need their fields working. Hunters want trails, shooting lanes and food plots ready by fall. Homeowners want a driveway that survives another Wisconsin spring. We work around planting, harvest and hunting seasons whenever we can.

Colby Excavation FAQ
How fast can you get to a job in Colby?
We're based just down the road in Abbotsford, so local jobs are minutes away. That means faster scheduling for estimates and quicker response when something like a washed-out culvert can't wait.
Can you fix a wet field or a low spot that won't drain?
Yes. Field and yard drainage is some of our most common local work. We'll look at where the water is coming from and recommend a ditch, drain tile, a culvert, or a mix of these.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. Plenty of our Colby projects are small, like one ditch for a field corner or a few post holes.
Do you help with hunting land?
Yes. We handle food plots start to finish, forestry mulching for trails and shooting lanes, drainage for wet plots, and blind setting.
