Built on Hard Work
& Honest Trades

Benz Excavating has been serving Cadillac and the surrounding area for over two decades. We started with a single machine and a commitment to showing up on time, doing the job right, and leaving the site cleaner than we found it.

Today we operate a full fleet of excavators, loaders, and grading equipment — but our philosophy hasn't changed. Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it's a residential driveway or a commercial lot preparation.
