Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has earned us a reputation for reliability and trust, resulting in a significant amount of repeat business and customer referrals.
Our History
In 1971, we began in the Agricultural Drainage business. Starting with our own farms learning the trade, before starting into the custom drainage work. By 1980, we added a large dozer with a plow for increased products to keep up with demand. In 1988, we expanded again by bringing on our first excavator. Again to keep up with demand, we soon had a second excavator. In 1997, dad retired from ownership and brother Phil who had worked with us for many years joined as a partner with myself, Scott.
The tradition of family owned and operated continued as well as the company growth. Over the years we have put a lot of pride into the customer service end of building a punctual reputation and fair prices. We like to feel that this has been very important and successful based on the amount of repeat business and customer referral work that keep us busy today.
We have a wide variety of machines that cater to any sized project. We offer services such as large retention water reservoirs, greenhouse land preparation, installation of storm drainage and greenhouse infrastructure, break wall shoreline protection, land clearing and brushing, laser grade excavation, home preparation, parking lots, driveways, decorative ponds, and design of all the above if required.
We offer shredding, processing, and screening of many blends of topsoil. Our screening plant is mobile so it can be done at our site or yours.
Our service is based on punctuality to get things where they need to be on time. We handle float moves for heavy machinery and anything else that needs moving. We also have an assortment of tri-axle dumps, dump trailers, and on-site trucks for the rough going.
