Meet the Owner

 

Don Bowers

President – 30 years experience

As a second-generation construction excavator, the desire to dig and build is in my bones. Couple that with an entrepreneurial spirit lead to the development of Brother’s Excavating with a goal to bring a professional and progressive approach to this industry with experience and the latest technology. Furthermore, I measure success by customer satisfaction throughout the entire building cycle rather than just the end result

CPM General Contractors

“I greatly enjoyed working with the team at Brothers Excavating. Very professional company and the pride of their work is obvious in their attention to safety, quality of work, communication, attendance to meetings, and fairness when the need for additional work arose. I look forward to working with Brothers Excavating on future projects.” - Connor Blaker, Project Manager for CPM Construction, Inc.

City of Beech Grove

" I became familiar with Brothers Excavating LLC when they were hired by a private developer to install utilities and infrastructure in a new subdivision in the City of Beech Grove. I have been very impressed with their work. They have done outstanding work taking a long-neglected parcel of land and turning it into a valuable asset to the City of Beech Grove. They have communicated well with our Police, Fire, and Schools regarding road closures and detours. Their installation of sanitary manholes and mains passed our testing procedures on the first try. They had two vibrating rollers compacting the trenches each day. They pressure washed existing streets to keep them clean for all the neighbors. They took extra precautions to ensure the product that would be turned over to the City of Beech Grove would be an excellent one. I highly recommend the work of Brothers Excavating LLC."
