The short version

Oscar grew up around equipment. His father has been grading pads, cutting grove roads, trenching lines and clearing brush around Fallbrook for more than 25 years, and Oscar learned to run a loader on his father's machines before he was old enough to drive the truck that tows them. Five years ago he bought his own Bobcat and started taking jobs under his own name. The excavator came next, because half the calls were for digging the loader could not do.

The business is still one person and two machines, on purpose. There is no dispatcher and no crew that shows up without the person who quoted the job. Oscar texts you back, walks the lot, runs the machine, and settles up when it is done. If his father is on the second machine that day, you have 25 years of experience on one job.

We work the hills from Camp Pendleton to Temecula and from Oceanside to Valley Center, but the yard is in Fallbrook and most days the trailer does not leave the 92028. That is why the core area has no travel charge: we are already here.

The equipment

Two machines that cover almost everything a residential or agricultural lot in North County needs.

Bobcat T300 compact track loader

A tracked skid steer with about 81 horsepower and a 3,000-pound rated operating capacity, roughly 6.5 feet wide. Tracks instead of wheels mean it climbs the slopes, floats on soft decomposed granite and leaves a lawn or a driveway in better shape than a wheeled machine would. Attachments: general-purpose and tooth buckets, brush cutter, auger, hydraulic breaker and pallet forks.

Mini excavator

A compact excavator with a hydraulic thumb and trenching buckets in the widths plumbers and electricians specify. It digs well past the depth any residential line needs, pulls stumps and boulders whole, and fits on lots a full-size excavator cannot reach. It rides on the same trailer as the Bobcat, so a job that needs both machines does not need two trips.
