A Legacy of Quality Construction

The foundation of our success lies in our rich heritage of construction expertise. Our journey began with Hjalmer "Swede" Brolin, the patriarch of our family, who founded Brolin Excavating in the 1950s. Swede's dedication to quality and craftsmanship set the standard for generations to come. He played a pivotal role in developing the Detroit Lakes area, using his dragline excavator to clear obstacles and create navigable pathways between the lakes.

The second generation, led by Clarence "Butch" Drewes, expanded the business to encompass a wider range of construction projects throughout Minnesota. Butch built interstates, airports, and infrastructure for local communities while also serving the needs of individual farmers. His commitment to excellence and his team of skilled workers earned him a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy contractor.

Keith Drewes Explores New Ventures

Building upon the legacy established by his forefathers, Keith Drewes took the reins of the business in 2000, focusing on residential and commercial excavating services. This marked a new chapter in the family's construction journey, one that continued to be driven by a passion for quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction.

Services We Offer

We offer a comprehensive range of excavating and site preparation services to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

• Site Preparation: Our meticulous site preparation process begins with a thorough assessment of the land. We carefully evaluate factors like slope, topography, soil composition, and potential challenges. This ensures a solid foundation for your project and mitigates risks associated with unstable ground.

• Building Pads: We specialize in creating durable and level building pads for your dream home, garage, or shed. This crucial step involves clearing the site, grading the land, and compacting the soil to create a stable platform that can support the weight of a structure.
