Who We Are
Dutch Contracting, Inc. operates as both a General Contractor and a specialty subcontractor — giving owners and prime contractors a single, accountable team that handles every phase of civil and earthwork construction from the ground up.
Unlike firms that parcel out the hard work to others, Dutch self-performs the majority of its services with its own crews, equipment, and engineers on-site. That means tighter schedules, cleaner costs, and a team that has skin in the game on every project.
We’re an employee-owned company (ESOP). The people who show up to your site are the people who hold a stake in the outcome — and that difference shows.
Our crews perform the work — not third-party subcontractors. You get direct accountability, consistent quality, and faster problem-solving in the field.
From Bay Mud to Rocky Foothills, we know this region's soils, groundwater, and permitting landscape as well as anyone working in it.
As an ESOP company, every team member has a personal stake in project outcomes. Higher standards aren't enforced — they're intrinsic.
Planning & Strategy
Good projects are built long before the first shovel hits the ground. Dutch’s pre-construction team walks with you through the design process early — identifying challenges, refining costs, and building a realistic path to delivery before you commit your budget.
We bring field experience to the planning table, which means we catch constructability problems in drawings rather than discovering them mid-project. The result is fewer surprises, better bids, and a schedule that actually holds.

Excavation & Mass Grading
Northern California’s terrain is anything but uniform — and Dutch knows it better than most. From the expansive Bay Mud of the Delta to the dense granite of the Sierra Foothills, our earthwork crews are equipped and experienced to handle what other contractors find difficult.
We invest in GPS-guided, state-of-the-art equipment and use real-time data to keep clients informed and projects on track. Whether you’re moving millions of yards or preparing a tight infill site, Dutch brings the right iron and the right people to the job.

Water, Sewer & Dry Utilities
Underground utility work in the San Francisco Bay — Sacramento Valley region is some of the most technically demanding in the state. Unique soil conditions, high groundwater, and strict agency requirements mean that experience here isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Dutch’s utility crews are specialists in shoring, dewatering, and working in challenging subsurface conditions. We maintain a broad network of industry contacts and take a proactive approach to solving problems before they impact your schedule or budget.

Remediation & Restoration
Environmental work demands more than just equipment — it requires engineers on-site, agency relationships, and the discipline to work carefully in sensitive conditions. Dutch has in-house engineers who provide guidance and oversight on every environmental project we undertake.
From wetland mitigation to hazardous material cleanup, we bring a compliant, methodical approach to every sensitive site — protecting your project from regulatory exposure while getting the work done on schedule.

Safe, Compliant Removal
Dutch has been performing demolition work throughout Northern California for over 20 years. That experience means we know how to take structures down safely, efficiently, and in a way that keeps neighboring properties and the public protected at every step.
We take the most environmentally responsible approach available — maximizing salvage and recycling, and coordinating with all applicable regulatory agencies to ensure full compliance before any work begins.

Precision Site Work
Every structure, roadway, and drainage system depends on the land being shaped correctly. Dutch’s grading crews bring GPS-guided precision to every project — ensuring that final grades meet spec and that drainage, slope stability, and compaction requirements are met the first time.
From rough mass grading to finish work ready for paving or slab pours, we self-perform the full grading scope with our own equipment and operators — no handoffs, no delays between phases.

Self-Perform Concrete
When grading and utilities are complete, the concrete work often determines how the finished site looks and functions for decades. Dutch self-performs concrete flatwork so you don’t have to coordinate a separate sub — our crews transition directly from earthwork to flatwork, keeping your project moving without gaps.
We work to DOT, Caltrans, and municipal specifications, and our crews understand what it means to deliver flatwork that holds grade, drains correctly, and stands up to California weather and heavy use.

AC Paving & Surface Work
A well-graded subbase makes for a well-performing asphalt surface — and because Dutch handles both grading and paving, you get a continuous, quality-controlled process from subgrade prep through final lift placement. No finger-pointing between subs. One crew, one standard, one result.
We place asphalt to Caltrans and agency specifications with properly calibrated equipment and experienced paving crews who understand mat temperature, joint construction, and compaction density requirements.

24/7 Disaster Response
When a disaster strikes — wildfire, flood, landslide, or hazardous spill — the clock starts immediately. Dutch Contracting provides around-the-clock emergency response for both public agencies and private clients throughout Northern California, with experienced crews and equipment ready to mobilize fast.
We understand the regulatory requirements that come with emergency response work and work closely with public agencies, OES, and insurance adjusters to document, clear, and restore impacted sites as quickly and safely as possible.
