Hardworking, Honest, and Local

Trotter Backhoe is a family-owned excavation and septic company rooted right here in the Ozarks. We know this land — the hills, the rock, the soil — and we bring that local knowledge to every job we take on.

Whether you need a small residential trench or a full septic system installed, we show up on time, work hard, and do the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises.

We're proud to serve the communities we call home, and we treat every customer's property with the same care we'd give our own.

Reliability

We show up when we say we will, every time.

Quality

Every job done right, not just done fast.

Straight talk on pricing and timelines, always.

Your neighbors, not strangers.
