Our Team

  • Let me take a moment to introduce myself, I’m Raul. A heavy equipment operator in Northern California, and a proud dad of 2 beautiful children. I started out trying a few different career opportunities in the trades. One day I sat on a tractor and realized, “I love tractors!” I found an opportunity to work for a very reputable excavating company that started me on my dream. The Foreman taught me how to operate heavy equipment and each day felt like a play day instead of work day. I worked up to journeyman level and a few years later, Davis Excavating was formed. I have helped people repair their septic leech fields, prepare building pads, and more at competitive prices. I love what I do and I love helping our community thrive!
