WHAT WE DO
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR OUTDOOR PROJECTS
Hummingbird focuses on work that happens outside, from stormwater facilities and excavation to drainage, site preparation, decks, and property improvements.
Stormwater & Drainage
Facility maintenance and restoration, vegetation management, sediment removal, drainage improvements, and excavation associated with stormwater infrastructure.
EXCAVATION & SITE WORK
Grading, trenching, utility excavation, clearing, drainage, site preparation, and related earthwork for residential, commercial, and public projects.
OUTDOOR IMPROVEMENTS
Decks, grading, vegetation clearing, drainage corrections, select landscape improvements, and other exterior projects that improve a property's function and use.
FEATURED SPECIALTY
STORMWATER IS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER SERVICE
Stormwater facilities require ongoing care. When sediment accumulates, vegetation takes over, or structures become hard to access, routine maintenance can quickly turn into a larger restoration project.
Hummingbird brings nearly 30 years of hands-on stormwater experience to facility maintenance, restoration, and corrective work. Our background in stormwater operations, excavation, heavy equipment, and municipal Public Works helps us look beyond what is visible on the surface and consider how the facility functions, how it can be accessed, and what it will take to return it to a maintainable condition.

Have an inspection report?
Send it with your project request. We’ll use it to better understand the identified maintenance needs and the work that may be required.
Excavation & Site Work
Equipment and Experience to Get the Site Ready
Good site work starts with understanding the ground, the drainage, and what needs to happen before the finished project comes together.
Hummingbird provides excavation and earthwork for residential, commercial, and public projects, including:
Site clearing and preparation
Grading and drainage
Utility trenching
Storm and sanitary utility work
Driveway and access work
Footing excavation and foundation preparation
Material removal and site cleanup
Our excavation capability also lets us stay on a project when stormwater or outdoor improvement work requires more than surface-level maintenance.
oUTDOOR iMPROVEMENTS
Make the Outside of Your Property Work Better
Hummingbird also takes on select outdoor projects for homeowners who want to improve the function, access, drainage, or usability of their property.
Projects include:
Deck construction and replacement
Grading and yard corrections
Drainage improvements
Vegetation and brush clearing
Select landscape and site improvements
Access and site cleanup projects
Because we also perform excavation and drainage work, we can address underlying site conditions when they are part of the project, not just the finished improvement.
Featured Projects
Experience Across Our Services
Truman Middle School Bioswale Restoration
Years of accumulated sediment and invasive vegetation required more than routine maintenance.
Hummingbird removed invasive vegetation and accumulated sediment, restored facility grades, installed new biofiltration media, and revegetated the bioswale to return the facility to a more maintainable condition.

Hands-On Experience Matters.
Hummingbird Building & Excavation is a family-owned Washington contractor built around practical experience, direct communication, and hands-on work.
Owner-operator Matt Brown brings nearly 30 years of experience in stormwater, excavation, heavy equipment operation, construction, and municipal Public Works. That background gives Hummingbird a practical perspective across projects ranging from stormwater restoration and utility excavation to residential site work and outdoor improvements.
Whether you’re maintaining a stormwater facility, planning excavation, dealing with drainage, building a deck, or improving an outdoor space, tell us what you’re working on.
Send us a few details along with any photos, plans, inspection reports, or other information you already have. We’ll review it and let you know whether Hummingbird is a good fit for the work.
