Martin’s Excavating

07/25/2026

I had the chance to spend the day on the golf course today with a few great friends, playing in a tournament to raise money for the Glencoe Fire Department.

We didn’t finish first, and we didn’t finish last, but we had an awesome time and shared plenty of laughs along the way.

Thanks guys, for teaming up with me. I appreciate it, and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

I got a call from a local farmer who said, “I’m getting stuck in my driveway, and I just put in a new concrete apron by my shed. I don’t want to risk damaging it. Can you help?”

Of course, I said yes.

After taking a look, it was clear the driveway needed more than just a little gravel. We removed about 2 inches of old crushed gravel along with another 10 inches of soft black dirt. Then we installed a full foot of quality gravel and compacted it properly to create a solid, long-lasting base.

Now he can drive his equipment in and out without worrying about getting stuck or damaging his new concrete.

Thank you for trusting Martin’s Excavating with the job. We appreciate your business!

Now this was a big project—and yes, it was right in front of the office… a.k.a. my home!

Our front landscaping and sidewalk had reached the point where they were failing and had become a tripping hazard for anyone coming to visit. It was time for a complete makeover.

We tore everything out, poured a brand-new concrete sidewalk, laid fresh sod, and are putting the finishing touches on the new landscaping. Everything should be wrapped up within the next couple of weeks.

It’s always nice to invest in your own property, especially when safety and curb appeal both get a major upgrade. We can’t wait to show you the finished result!

Due to the recent rainfall, a customer reached out wanting to extend their driveway so they, their kids, and the rest of the family wouldn’t have to walk through the mud.

We removed about a foot of black dirt, installed Class 5 gravel, and added the proper drainage to ensure water continues to flow away from the garage.

Thank you to this customer for trusting Martin’s Excavating with the project. We appreciate your business and hope the new driveway extension is making life a little cleaner and easier!

This spring, a customer asked us to clean up their property by removing dead trees, creating trails to their deer stand, and piling the firewood for future use. It was a great project, and we’re glad we could help make their property more accessible and enjoyable.

Thank you for your business—we appreciate the opportunity!

Let’s start the New Year out with a steal of a deal! We have had a busy start to winter with a lot of snow which means snow piles may need to be blown back or driveways may need to be opened up wider.

Martin’s excavating can get it done for you before the next big snowfall! Right now you can save $50 per hour if you book before January 9th. Message me here or Call 507.766.0061 to schedule your snow removal before this deal expires!
