About Blackhawk Excavation LLC
Michael Welch, owner operator
Michael is a US Army veteran. Blackhawk Excavation's name is dedicated to the team he served with while in the Army.
Before the military, he worked primarily in construction and heavy equipment operating. While he worked several years in the field, he felt he had more of a purpose elsewhere, which led him to the Army. When his career was cut short due to a combat related injury, he returned back to his roots to continue his passion behind the controls of an excavator. You can count on him and his team to be honest, knowledgeable and dependable.
​
"Integrity, hard work, and reliability are the principles that define me. They’ve shaped my life and remain at the heart of every project I take on and every decision I make in my business. I lead with purpose, embrace challenges, and strive to deliver exceptional results. To me, excavation is more than moving earth, it’s about creating something meaningful and lasting." - Mike

A rough winter with unexpected rainfall severely damaged our 50 year old driveway. After a period of discussion and competitive bidding, Blackhawk Excavation was our choice for the repairs.
