About Our Family-Operated Construction and Excavation Firm

Fifty-plus years is something to be proud of. That is how long the Don Schnieders Excavating (DSE) Company has been doing business throughout Mid-Missouri -- working diligently for our customers through services that include excavation, concrete paving, bridge construction and repair, demolition, lake construction, and utility work.

Don Schnieders Excavating is family-operated, locally owned, and now managed by its second generation. Founded by Don Schnieders in 1964, the business started out as a one-man show. But as the years went on and Don's reputation as a hardworking and dedicated businessman grew, so did the Don Schnieders Excavating name. In 1977, (DSE) expanded to include not only residential but also commercial excavation, which allowed the company to grow its staff to 13 by the late 1980s, and it has continued to over 50 employees today.

In 1984, Bruce Bax, Don and Ruth Ann's son-in-law, came to help the company on a temporary basis.

It has now been over thirty years, and Bruce is still hard at work at DSE but is now an owner of the company with his wife, Ann, and partners, Don and Jane Rhea. Since 1994, the four partners have continued to carry on the reputation of honesty and dedication on which Don & Ruth Ann founded the company.
