Our Story
Meet the Owner of Klaus Excavation
Virgil Klaus answers the questions, plans the work, and operates the equipment. You deal directly with the owner from the first conversation forward.
The Owner Behind Klaus Excavation
Virgil Klaus brings a lifetime of hard work and a ranch-raised work ethic to every job. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he spent decades running a business and developing small ranch-ettes before a chapter in the Texas Hill Country. Now settled in Dunnellon, Virgil has turned his passion for land transformation into Klaus Excavation.
Virgil operates every machine himself and stays directly involved in the scope, access questions, and work on site. His Oklahoma and Texas background shows up in a practical approach: understand what the property owner needs, decide what should stay, and choose an approach that fits the ground.
Klaus Excavation serves small-acreage properties and select larger projects. The work often includes what rural owners care about most: clearing underbrush, opening up a homesite, improving fence lines, prepping a building pad, or making a wooded piece of land usable again.
