From One Backhoe to Northern California's Trusted Contractor

In 1999, Bud Walberg started Walberg, Inc. with a single backhoe and a straightforward idea: do honest work, treat people right, and let the results speak for themselves. What began as a small family operation in Corning, California, has grown into one of Northern California's most respected excavation, demolition, and grading contractors.

Over the past 26 years, Bud has built the company from the ground up — literally. He spent the early years running every piece of equipment himself, bidding jobs in the evenings, and building relationships with landowners, farmers, developers, and municipal agencies throughout the Sacramento Valley. What started as a one-truck operation has grown into a company that now employs 38 to 40 people and operates a fleet of more than 100 pieces of heavy equipment.

Today, Walberg, Inc. serves Tehama, Butte, Shasta, Glenn, and Colusa counties with a full range of services: site demolition, excavation, grading, underground utilities, pond construction and cleaning, land clearing, road building, mobile concrete crushing, and more. Whether it's a residential lot prep or a large-scale commercial site development, the company brings the same attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done on time and on budget.

Zack McLane leads day-to-day operations, managing crews, coordinating equipment logistics, and ensuring every project meets the standards the company was built on. With Zack at the helm of field operations, Walberg, Inc. has expanded its capacity while maintaining the hands-on, relationship-driven approach that clients have come to expect.

Safety is not a slogan at Walberg, Inc. — it is a daily practice. The company is DOSH certified and maintains a rigorous safety program that includes regular training, equipment inspections, and job site audits. That commitment to doing things the right way extends to every aspect of the business, from the quality of the finished grade to the way the crew leaves a job site.

Walberg, Inc. holds CSLB License #898860, is BBB A+ Accredited, and is USDA approved. The company has completed more than 2,500 projects across Northern California and continues to grow through referrals and repeat business — the best measure of a contractor's reputation.
