Darrow Brothers Excavating

Darrow Brothers Excavating has been a cornerstone of northern Michigan's construction industry since 1968. Founded by Perry and Katie Darrow with a single crane and rented equipment, our company has grown through four generations of family leadership while maintaining the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that defined our early years. We specialize in site preparation, foundation excavation, shoreline restoration, and demolition projects, serving both residential and commercial clients across the Straits area and surrounding communities. Our team's expertise extends to challenging projects like harbor dredging, wind turbine installation, and large-scale land development, with a track record that includes work for Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping and Emmet County Parks.

We take pride in our ability to adapt to changing industry demands while preserving the core values of hard work, reliability, and personalized service that have sustained us for over five decades. Our fleet of modern equipment, combined with decades of hands-on experience, enables us to tackle complex projects efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of safety and precision. From small residential deliveries to major infrastructure developments, we approach every job with the same dedication to excellence that has earned us repeat business and community trust for generations.
