Who We Are

Founded in 2016 by Tim Beeman and his sons Cody and Lucas, Beeman Excavating is built on over 40 years of combined industry experience. We’ve worked in the trenches—literally—and understand what it takes to deliver a successful job from the ground up.

Our Mission

To provide honest, dependable, and high-quality excavation services—backed by years of experience, local knowledge, and strong working relationships—while maintaining the professionalism and responsiveness our clients deserve.

Core Values

Integrity. Precision. Hard work. Professionalism. Respect. That is the foundation we’ve built our company on—guiding how we show up, how we work, and how we treat every client and job site.

Experience That Makes a Difference

Excavation is more than machines and manpower. It’s knowing how to read the land, how to adapt to changing conditions, and how to solve problems before they happen.

With over 40 years of combined field experience, our team brings a level of confidence, skill, and foresight that only comes from being in the trenches—day in, day out.

We know the permits. We know the codes. We know the soil.
And we know what it takes to get your project started right.
