Excavation in Bend and Central Oregon

Central Oregon ground is its own animal: lava rock, hardpan and sandy pumice, sometimes all on the same lot. RBE Inc. has the equipment and the local experience to move it. We handle septic system work and general excavation under one roof, so your project does not stall between contractors.

New construction site prep is the backbone of our excavation work. We clear, grade and cut building pads for new homes in Bend, Redmond and the surrounding country, and we leave the site the way your builder needs it. We also dig ponds for properties and acreage, open up ground for remodels and additions, and build out parking lots for commercial jobs.

Every job gets the same treatment: a straight quote up front, a clean site at the end, and a phone that gets answered in between.

Excavation Capabilities

  • New home site prep and grading
  • Ponds and water features
  • Remodel and addition excavation
  • Parking lots and pads
  • Trenching and utility access

Big or small, we do it all.

Septic Pumping, Service & Repair

Thousands of homes around Bend, Tumalo, Sisters and La Pine run on septic, and most owners never think about the tank until it becomes the only thing they can think about. RBE Inc. keeps it boring: routine pumping on a three to five year schedule, honest inspections, and repairs done right the first time.

When it is not routine, we run 24/7 emergency septic service across Central Oregon. Customers have had Ryan on site within the hour for after-hours backups. A septic emergency in January does not care about the weather, and neither do we.

Why RBE / 03

A Licensed Local Outfit, Not a Call Center

RBE Inc. is run by Ryan Barber out of Bend. When you call, you talk to the people who do the work, not a dispatcher three states away. That is why the reviews below keep using the same words: prompt, professional, easy to communicate with.

We are licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, CCB #188908, and carry the bonding and insurance that goes with it. You can verify the license yourself on the state CCB search before we ever set foot on your property. We think you should.

One company, two trades. Because we do both excavation and septic pumping and repair in Bend, we can take a septic problem from diagnosis to dig to fix without handing you off to anyone.
