Excavation & grading
I can level uneven ground, cut down high spots, fill low areas, and prepare a spot for your next project. We’ll go over the finished height you need, where the dirt will go, and how water moves through the area.
What I do
You don’t need to have a big construction project to give me a call. I take on smaller equipment jobs too, whether you need a spot leveled, a trench dug, or a load of gravel spread.

If your driveway has ruts or low spots, or you’d like to widen it, I can help reshape it and bring in fresh gravel. The amount of rock and the prep work depend on what’s already there. A few photos and rough measurements are a good place to start.
I prepare gravel pads for RVs, sheds, and carports, along with bases for concrete work. Let me know what you’re putting on the pad and how large it needs to be. We can talk through the excavation, materials, and access needed.
I handle drainage trenches, swales, pipe placement, and backfill. If water is collecting where it shouldn’t, tell me where it’s coming from and where it sits. Photos taken while it’s happening can help explain the problem.
I clear brush, clean up overgrown areas, and haul away debris. I also take on small demolition jobs. We’ll go over what you want removed, what needs to stay, and whether material will be hauled off or kept on the property.
I also do decorative rock placement, gravel paths, play area leveling, and fire pit base preparation. If you have a job that doesn’t fit one of these categories, send me a picture and tell me what you have in mind.
My work
These are photos from jobs I’ve worked on around Central Oregon. Some show the finished work, and others show what goes into it along the way.

Meet the owner
I own and operate Durfee Contracting here in Central Oregon. I handle the estimates and the equipment work myself, so you have one person to talk to about the job.
My setup includes a mini excavator, skid steer, truck, and trailer. Most of my work involves helping people make better use of their property. That might mean improving a driveway, leveling a place to park, or clearing an area they’ve been meaning to get to.
I’m licensed (Oregon CCB #249375), bonded, and insured. If you’re unsure what your project needs, that’s fine. Tell me what you’re trying to get done, and we can start there.
Where I work
I work in Bend, Redmond, Tumalo, Sunriver, and Three Rivers. If you’re outside those areas, send me your location and I’ll let you know whether I can get out to you.
Customer reviews
If I’ve worked on your property, I’d appreciate hearing about your experience.

Start a project
Send me a few photos, your location, and a short explanation of what you want done. Rough measurements help too, if you have them. We can talk through the job and, if needed, arrange a visit to the property before I put together an estimate.
