Don Mann Excavating

Our story.

It all began in 1947, with a single tractor and the hard working dedication of one man, our grandfather, Don Mann. Today, we celebrate over 70 years of success, safety and growth into a large team of employees who respond to a broad scope of municipal, residential and commercial projects.

Our company is built on a foundation of trust and integrity; the same commitment and values Don founded the company on, handed down over three generations. We understand that you look for the same things we look for as consumers: good service and money well spent. We intend to deliver on that expectation.

Our core values.

“We are a safe company, where both employees and clients can count on us to go home safe every day.”

Humble:

“We have an attitude of gratitude and we remain calm even when it is tough to do so.”

Hard Working:

“We are hard-working people who solve the toughest problems, even when they aren’t ours.”

Principled:

“We do the right thing.”

Professional:

“We bring our best to every interaction to make it a win-win situation.”

Our commitment to safety.
