We follow strict OSHA safety protocols while addressing soil remediation and hazardous material containment. Serving both government and private sector clients, this service focuses on restoring contaminated properties to regulatory compliance through comprehensive assessment and treatment plans.

We provide residential and commercial snow removal services across Lake Tahoe's west shore. Our contracted service includes automatic clearing when snow accumulates six inches or more, while on-call options offer flexible solutions. Using specialized equipment and coordination with county operations, we ensure reliable access through Tahoe's heavy winter season.

Our excavation services cover site preparation for residential and commercial construction, utility infrastructure, and erosion control implementation. We handle grading, backfilling, and compaction while maintaining best management practices.

Our approach balances safe structural collapse with material recycling opportunities. This service accommodates both complete site clearance and partial demolition needs for renovation projects.

Report
Clauss Excavation has been our snow removal company for almost 20 years. He plows when the snow reaches 4-6 and I never have to worry about whether Ill have driveway concerns in the winter. He works early in the morning so we can leave for work or snow play. He is easy and friendly to deal with.

Report
I drove up to my place late on a Saturday afternoon. My driveway had not been cleared as promised by "another snow removal company". I called Clauss and they cleared my driveway the next day! I don't know why I haven't been using them all along. Great job! Thanks.
