About Us
At Digging Teddy Excavation & Site Works, we bring over 30 years of hands-on experience and deep local knowledge to every project. Owner Theodore “Teddy” Higginbotham started working on Tahoe construction sites at age seven and has spent his entire career mastering the unique challenges of Sierra Nevada soil, granite, and mountain terrain. Whether it’s a custom home site, underground utilities, septic system, or complex drainage solution, we approach every job with precision, reliability, and genuine pride in our work.
Our reputation is built on trust, clear communication, and delivering solid results the first time.

We don’t just dig — we prepare the ground so your project stands strong for decades in Tahoe’s demanding climate.
