Low Impact Excavators

Low Impact Excavators is a company based in Ely, Minnesota, that has been providing high-quality excavating services for over 28 years. The company was founded by John Wavrin, who has over 31 years of experience in the industry. John saw a need for excavators who not only knew how to handle the job and equipment but also respected the environment and had an understanding of how to "finish" a job. With a crew of 11, Low Impact Excavators is a team of professionals dedicated to providing quality services while minimizing the impact on the environment.

Our team consists of skilled operators who are knowledgeable about the latest excavating techniques and equipment. We believe in leaving "small footprints" on the job site, removing only what is necessary, and leaving the job site naturally landscaped, as close to the original as possible. We take pride in the fact that our services help preserve the natural beauty of Northern Minnesota, which is often described as "Untouched & Serene."
