Raybould Forestry and Excavation was founded by Ben Raybould, a former Navy SEAL with a passion for precision and work ethic. After 13 years of service, he transitioned into the civilian world to apply the same discipline, attention to detail, and teamwork that built the respected reputation of Naval Special Warfare. Upon returning to his home state of Kentucky in 2019, Ben recognized a need for reliable excavation services in the community. It was then that he collaborated with a seasoned heavy equipment operator, Chris Hall. Drawing on his experience in high-stakes operations where precision and reliability were crucial, he started RFE with a small team and a dedication to delivering unparalleled excavation solutions.
From our humble beginnings, RFE is expanding its services, investing in state-of-the-art equipment, and assembling a team of skilled professionals who share our values and dedication to excellence. At RFE, we embody the core values instilled by our founder’s military background:
