Tight-Access & Backyard Excavation
The reason we run mini equipment — jobs full-size excavators simply can't reach.
What's Included
Included in this job
- Gate-width access excavation (most residential gates)
- Narrow side-yard navigation
- Fenced backyard project access
- Minimal-footprint operation to protect existing landscaping
- Assessment of access feasibility before quoting
- Coordination with other trades on tight job sites
Who It's For
Anyone with a backyard project that's been turned down or upcharged elsewhere due to access — narrow gates, fenced yards, tight side-yards.
This is the core of what makes us different: compact equipment built to fit through a standard gate, navigate a narrow side yard, and work in backyards that full-size excavators can't access at all. If a project has been quoted as "impossible" because of access, it's worth a second look with the right-sized machine.

Tight-Access & Backyard Excavation FAQ
What's the narrowest access you can fit through?
It depends on the specific machine and the job, but standard residential gate widths are exactly the scenario mini excavators are built for. Send us your gate width or a photo when requesting a quote and we'll tell you honestly if it's feasible.
