Partin's Excavating
Specializing in Drain Fields
We also do septic, site work, and driveways — always done right the first time. Donnie Partin started with one dump truck and one piece of equipment, and built an excavating outfit that serves all of south-central Michigan.
Our Story
Donnie Partin started Partin's Excavating for one reason: to build a better life for his family.
He didn't quit anything to do it. He was working at Aeroquip, running screw machines and CNC machines, when he bought one dump truck and one piece of equipment and started taking on work. No big backing, no corporate parent, no safety net — just a man, a truck, and the willingness to work.
So he worked two jobs. Clock in at the factory, then run the excavating business around it — evenings, weekends, and every hour in between. Later it was Gerdau instead of Aeroquip, but the arrangement never changed. Donnie worked two jobs for roughly forty years while building this company one job at a time.
That's worth knowing about the man who shows up at your property. Nothing here was handed over, and nothing was rushed.
From that one truck, Partin's Excavating grew into a full excavating outfit serving all of south-central Michigan. Today the crew handles septic drain fields, basement and crawlspace excavation, footers and foundations, site prep, gravel driveways, water and sewer hookups, demolition, and more across 11 counties and 74 towns within a 50-mile radius of Concord.
The motivation hasn't changed, and neither has the standard: "The highest quality of work while keeping your cost at a minimum." That's not a marketing line. It's how a man with one truck and a factory shift built this company — and it's how every job still runs today.
