Excavation access—
without the
access problems

At 26 inches wide, our robot + operator fits where traditional machines can't — through gates, into side yards, and onto the steep, tight lots that define the Greater Seattle Area.

Get in Touch

This region wasn't built for easy access

You already know the job site. The narrow side yard between two houses. The steep backyard that drops 30 feet. The basement dig with one way in and no room to turn around.

Traditional excavators need space — space to get in, space to operate, space that most lots in the Puget Sound region simply don't have. And when the machine can't get there, you're stuck with options that cost more and take longer: hand-digging that blows the labor budget, craning in equipment that blows the schedule, or walking away from the job entirely.

There's a better option now.

The right machine for impossible sites

Quark Constructs brings robotic excavation to your job site — a compact machine small enough to fit through a standard gate, powerful enough to do real work, and always paired with an on-site operator.

No operator in the cab means no one at risk on steep slopes or unstable ground. No diesel engine means zero emissions, zero noise complaints, and the ability to work indoors or near sensitive areas. Consistent precision in tight spaces near structures and utilities. You keep your schedule, your budget stays intact, and the access problem goes away.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your site and what you need dug
  2. We bring the robot + operator to your site
  3. We dig — you stay on schedule

Built for tight spaces. Built for real work.

Where we work

Tight urban lots

Side yards, narrow setbacks, backyard access through a gate — if there's a 26-inch path, we can get there.

Steep or unstable terrain

Hillside homes, erosion-prone slopes, and grades too risky to put an operator in a cab.

Indoor and enclosed spaces

Basement digs, garage excavations, warehouse work — battery-electric means zero fumes.

Environmentally sensitive sites

Near wetlands, streams, or protected areas where emissions and spill risk matter.

Drainage and stormwater

French drains, rain gardens, RainWise installations — the tight backyard spaces where full-size equipment can't go.

Retrofit and remodel

Foundation work, utility trenching, and demolition on existing properties with limited access.
