About Us

Our Story

Sportech’s experience with residential and commercial turf dates well before the establishment of the business in McMinnville, Oregon, in 2016. Our focus on turf grooming and repair has grown into an all-service excavation business ready to take on projects from start to finish. We provide high-quality excavation services and dirt work for homes, schools, businesses, parks, and more, as well as continue to install quality synthetic turf.

At Sportech we pride ourselves in professional work, top-notch customer service, and honesty and transparency you can trust, whether you’re redoing your backyard, update the school’s playground, or excavating in preparation for a build. You can count on us for quality service at a reasonable price.
