Company Profile
Shilson Excavation & Trucking Ltd.
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 reputation of punctuality 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 still keeps us busy today.
Now 35 years since the beginning, we have a variety of services and machines to offer:
- 4 excavators, all equipped with laser grade assistance and capable of being switched over to land clearing cutter heads and brush shredders over night. One of the excavators is a long reach with 55ft of reach for the extreme applications.
- 5 bulldozers, four of them D-8's for the large excavations and a smaller trim dozer for the final grades. All of these laser equipped as well as root and brush rake ready for land clearing.
- An assortment of tri-axle dumps, dump trailers and on site trucks for the rough going. Also backhoes, loader and a custom heavy equipment floating service.
- Our most recent addition is a new screening plant with a shredding device to process topsoil, sand, and aggregate mixes.
"We would like to thank all the previous and current customers for working with us along the way and are looking forward to meeting our future customers."
- Scott and Phil Shilson
