Our History

Rockwater Enterprises was first established in 2021 by Scott and Kirt Taylor. But that is not where our story begins. Scott has always had a love and gifting for excavation. From a very young age he would help his father, Kirt Taylor, however he could (as long as it involved heavy machinery and moving dirt.) Scott's passion started young because of his father, Kirt.

Kirt Taylor founded Kirt Taylor Excavation in 1992 in Bigfork, Montana, starting from scratch and building his company from the ground up.  He worked tirelessly for years, building trust within the Flathead Valley as an honest and hardworking man. As Kirt approached retirement in 2021, his son Scott, who had just become a Registered Professional Engineer in Montana, returned to Kalispell from Billings. Scott took over the company, transforming it into Rockwater Enterprises. This marked a new chapter for the business, continuing the legacy Kirt had built.

We are eager to continue what Kirt worked hard to perfect and are excited to branch into new areas as well.  We hold strong to our convictions to do our job with excellence, no matter the size of the project. We look forward to serving the Flathead Valley for many years to come!

Scott Taylor

Owner & Licensed Engineer

Scott attended Montana State University from 2009 - 2013 and obtained a bachelor's in civil engineering with an emphasis in Water Resources Engineering. Upon graduation Scott moved to Billings and worked for DOWL as a water resource engineer where he designed storm drain systems, highway drainage systems, culverts and performed hydraulic modeling for countless bridges and rivers around Montana.

As an Engineer who worked on multifaceted Highway and Road projects Scott acquired a vast ray of knowledge that can be applied to each and every project that Rockwater Enterprises works on.  Scotts background in Engineering and knowledge of the excavation trade provides him with the technical, yet practical, skills to address project challenges as they come up in the field. Scott loves what he does and is grateful to be able to carry a family business that his father worked so hard to build.
