OUR HISTORY

The history of Dakota Hills Excavating starts with the founding of AP & Sons in the year 2000 in Summit, SD, when half brothers Pete Eccles and Tony Connors decided to start their own excavation company. Over the next 20 years, Pete and Tony built up the business to what it is today.

In 2023, Pete decided he was ready to retire and spend more time with family and grandkids. He sold the business to his son Justin, wife Erin and current employee, Dylan.

NEW LEADERSHIP

With a new generation guiding the company, the business was renamed to Dakota Hills Excavation. Owners Justin, Erin and Dylan are building on the reputation that Pete established over the years.

They continue to provide customers with the same great quality of work. The customer always comes first and they take pride in leaving the job site cleaner than when they found it.
