Tehama County's Home-Grown Excavation Contractor

Tehama County is Walberg's home. Our headquarters in Corning places us at the geographic center of this 2,950-square-mile county that stretches from the Sacramento River on the west to the rugged foothills of the southern Cascade Range and northern Sierra Nevada on the east. With a population of approximately 65,000 residents, Tehama County is defined by its agricultural economy — cattle ranching, olive orchards, walnut groves, prune orchards, and row crops blanket the valley floor — and by the rural character that makes it one of the most authentic working landscapes in Northern California.

The county's two primary cities are Corning in the south and Red Bluff, the county seat, in the north. Between and beyond these communities, dozens of smaller towns and unincorporated areas — Gerber, Proberta, Vina, Flournoy, Paskenta, Manton, Mill Creek, Mineral, and Los Molinos — rely on contractors who understand rural infrastructure. Many properties in Tehama County are on well water and septic systems, and the county's environmental health department maintains strict standards for septic design and installation. Walberg is one of the most experienced septic system installers in the county, with hundreds of systems installed across every type of soil and terrain condition found here.

The infrastructure challenges in Tehama County go well beyond residential septic work. Ranch roads, livestock pond construction and cleaning, drainage ditch grading, agricultural building pad preparation, and orchard removal and replanting site work are all regular parts of our project mix. The county's rural fire risk — demonstrated during multiple wildfire seasons that have threatened foothill communities like Manton and Mineral — creates ongoing demand for fire cleanup and defensible space clearing. Walberg's combination of heavy equipment capacity, DOSH certification for hazardous material handling, and intimate knowledge of Tehama County's roads, terrain, and regulatory requirements makes us the natural choice for any excavation or demolition project in the county we call home.
