What We Do

Dirt work.
Done right.

We handle the heavy lifting — from clearing and grading to pouring and building — so your project starts on solid ground.

Excavation

Site clearing, trenching, and excavation for foundations, utilities, and landscaping. We dig it so you don't have to.

Grading & Leveling

Precision grading for drainage, building pads, driveways, and parking areas. Proper slope prevents problems before they start.

Concrete & Foundations

Footings, slabs, driveways, and foundation work. We prep the ground and pour the concrete that holds your structure up.

Driveways & Roads

Gravel, crushed stone, or paved — we build driveways and private roads that handle Missouri weather and stand the test of time.

Land Clearing

Brush clearing, tree removal, and land preparation for development, farming, or your next build. We turn overgrown into usable.

General Construction

Sheds, outbuildings, retaining walls, and structural work. If it needs to be built, we've got the experience to get it done.

About Us

Built on
hard work
& honesty.

Keltner's Construction and Excavating has been a trusted name in Strafford, Missouri and the surrounding Ozarks for over two decades. What started as a one-man operation with a single loader has grown into a full-service excavation and construction company that homeowners, builders, and developers rely on.

We know this ground. The soil, the slopes, the seasonal challenges — we've worked it all. That local knowledge means we don't cut corners, and we don't surprise you with hidden problems. What you see is what you get: fair pricing, solid work, and a crew that shows up on time.

Whether it's a residential driveway, a commercial site prep, or a foundation pour, we bring the same standard to every job — big or small.
