Residential Excavation Built Over 68 Years in the Puget Sound
Whether it’s drainage flooding your yard or blackberries taking over your fence line, we handle the residential excavation work that keeps your property livable. From half-acre lots to 20-acre properties across Pierce County, we bring the same care Merit Construction has delivered since 1957.
Work We Do for Homeowners Across the Puget Sound
We focus on the work that makes your property functional: drainage that actually works, land that’s cleared and ready to use, driveways that last. If you own property in the Lakewood, Puyallup, or Graham area and need excavation work done right, we’re here to help.

Reliable Excavation for the Property You Care About
Your property isn’t a line item on some commercial bid. It’s where you live, where your kids play, where you’ve put your money and your time. We treat it that way.
- We show up when we say we will and finish what we start
- Licensed, bonded, and insured for every job we take on
- Equipment and expertise to handle half-acre to 20-acre properties
- Trusted by the same families Merit Construction has served since 1957
The Job’s Done When the Problem’s Gone
Jason Birklid runs Merit Excavation, which means you work directly with the person operating the equipment. Projects get scheduled with timelines that make sense, and when something needs clarification, you talk to someone who actually knows the work.
If your yard floods every winter, we fix the drainage so water moves away from your foundation. If blackberries are taking over your acreage, we clear it down to usable ground. The work has to solve the problem – that’s how we measure success.
