About Hillcrest Landworks
Owner-operated landworks with two decades of dirt, rock, and grade behind every job across the Snoqualmie Valley.
Two Decades Behind the Controls
Hillcrest Landworks is a residential landworks provider serving King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties. Our lead operator brings over 20 years of hands-on experience to every job site — and that experience shows in the finish.
Whether you need a decorative rock retaining wall or major ground leveling for a construction project, we work with you directly from the first walkthrough to the final grade. No franchise crews, no runaround — just honest work and equipment run by someone who's done it for a living, not a season.
We take pride in leaving every property better than we found it: graded clean, draining right, and ready for whatever you're building next.
Nathan Payne
Some operators picked this up later in life. Nathan didn't. He's been around heavy equipment for as long as he can remember — the toy version came first, the real ones followed, and he hasn't stopped since.
What started with a die-cast excavator in the driveway turned into more than twenty years actually behind the controls, learning the land, the soil, and the weather of the Pacific Northwest one job at a time. Rock walls, drainage, grading, road builds — there isn't much in residential landworks Nathan hasn't done firsthand.
That's the difference when you call Hillcrest: you're talking to the person who'll walk your property, plan the cut, and finish the grade himself. No middlemen, no handoffs — just the operator who's been doing this his whole life.
