About Us
Craig DeVries, Owner & Operator
Craig started operating heavy equipment in 1983 at 15 years old for his family's construction company, Gopher Construction in La Crescenta, California. In 1993 after 10 years of running excavation and pipeline jobs for the family, he started his own concrete and excavation company. Over the next 20+ years Craig worked as both contractor and senior employee for a wide variety of homeowner and contractor clients. The project sizes ranged from a few hundred dollars to several million. The scope of work varied as well: excavation, concrete, structural steel, pipeline, and industrial coatings. In 2013 he and his wife Eva moved to Squaw Valley and have lived here full time ever since. Today Craig uses his 35+ years of experience and vast inventory of tools and equipment to serve our community as an Outdoor Handyman.
Our Goals
To provide outstanding service at reasonable cost
Our goal is to offer long lasting solutions at the lowest possible price. We do this a few ways:
1. Doing what we do best: We try to limit our scope of work to the "outdoor arts": tractor work, welding, underground pipes and wires, land clearing, some concrete, etc... We do not work on houses.
2. Value Engineering: There are often several ways to achieve your goals. Lean on our decades of experience to find the most efficient and longest lasting method. We treat every design consideration as if it were our own house.
3. Having the right tools and equipment: Next to experience, the right tool or equipment is the most important component of efficiency. Here's a partial list of what we bring to the table when you hire us:
