Family-owned since 1997
About Shepard Excavating
A family-run outfit in Laporte, Minnesota, and the one call folks around the lakes make for septic and dirt work.
Our story
29 years of dirt, done right
We started in 1997, and we have been digging, hauling, pumping, and plowing across Northern Minnesota ever since. Septic systems, excavating, land clearing, demolition, sand and gravel, dumpsters, and snow removal. It is all under one roof, so you make one call instead of lining up four different contractors.
Brian Shepard runs the show, and when you call, you get the people whose name is on the truck. We are an MPCA-certified septic installer, licensed and bonded, and licensed to install and maintain systems in Hubbard and Beltrami counties.
We like to say we are #1 in the #2 business. It gets a laugh, but it is true. Septic is right there in our name, and we take it seriously, from a routine pump to a brand-new mound system.
