Who we are

Founded in 1990 by Nick Walton, Nick’s Trucking & Excavating began as a humble venture with a single dump truck, a skid steer, a backhoe loader, and an abundance of ambition. With a focus on residential excavation and driveway construction, we proudly serve Balsam Lake and the surrounding communities.

Over the years, our company has experienced steady growth, expanding our team and upgrading our equipment to meet the evolving needs of our clients. As we gained expertise, we ventured into more complex projects, including the excavation for new basements, and soon found ourselves undertaking commercial endeavors such as site preparation and pipe laying.

Today, Nick’s Trucking & Excavating boasts a dedicated team of nearly 20 employees, equipped with a diverse array of machinery to handle projects of all sizes. Our fleet includes excavators ranging from 9,000 lbs to 57,000 lbs, quad-axle dump trucks, hook trucks, plow trucks, and a selection of late-model equipment designed to enhance productivity and efficiency, ensuring we deliver the highest quality service to our customers.

Throughout the years, Nick has cultivated strong relationships and built an outstanding reputation for quality work, making us a trusted name in the excavation industry.
