Trusted Excavation & Demolition in Chico

Chico is Butte County's largest city and one of the fastest-growing communities in the northern Sacramento Valley. Home to California State University, Chico, the city has a dynamic mix of university-related development, expanding residential neighborhoods, and a robust commercial corridor along the Esplanade and East Avenue. Walberg, Inc. has been providing excavation, demolition, and utility services in Chico for over two decades, and our 30-mile proximity from Corning means we mobilize to Chico job sites the same day — often within a few hours of a call.

The Big Chico Creek watershed shapes much of the city's development patterns and creates specific challenges for excavation and grading contractors. Properties near the creek and in the Bidwell Park corridor require careful attention to erosion control, setback requirements, and stormwater management. The north Chico and Meriam Park neighborhoods have seen significant residential growth, with new subdivisions requiring mass grading, utility trenching, storm drain installation, and building pad preparation. On the commercial side, the Highway 32 and Bruce Road corridors continue to attract new retail and mixed-use development that demands experienced site preparation. We completed the City of Chico Emergency Sewer Repair, responding rapidly when a critical municipal sewer line failed and required immediate excavation and replacement to restore service.

Whether the project involves demolishing an aging commercial structure on Broadway, trenching sewer and water lines for a new apartment complex near the university, or grading a building pad for a warehouse on the Chico Municipal Airport industrial corridor, Walberg brings the same commitment to quality and schedule that has earned us a BBB A+ rating. Our DOSH-certified crews handle hazardous material situations that often arise during older building demolitions in the downtown core, and our fleet of excavators, dozers, and haul trucks means we self-perform every phase of the work without subcontractor delays.
