Diversified Excavating

What Diversified Excavating does

Diversified Excavating & Site Utilities, LLC is an owner-operated excavation and demolition contractor founded in 2009 by Ryan Moon, headquartered at 7810 Whittaker Road in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The company delivers commercial excavation, residential excavation, and demolition services across Southeast Michigan and Northeast Ohio, with 24-hour emergency response for sewer, water, and drain issues in Washtenaw, Oakland, Wayne, Livingston, and Monroe counties and the Toledo, Ohio area.

The service portfolio spans underground utilities (sewer/water/storm), parking lots, building pads, road building, concrete and paving for commercial clients; basements, septic systems, driveways, foundations, ponds, and drainage solutions for residential customers; and land clearing, structure dismantling, and foundation exposure for demolition work. The core operating asset is a PC300 excavator that performs approximately 70% of project work, supplemented by additional equipment. The owner personally performs excavation labor on every job, answers all emergency calls, and provides free on-site estimates with 30-day quote holds.

Revenue is generated through project-based one-time fees, with all pricing quoted per job rather than published in tiers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and owner-led, targeting both commercial accounts (financial institutions, hotels, restaurants, gas/service stations, municipalities) and individual homeowners. Customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth, an active Facebook page, and listings on Yahoo Local and Google Maps. Notable commercial customers include Bell Tire, Speedway (Ann Arbor), and Washtenaw Federal Credit Union; municipal clients include Ypsilanti, Van Buren, and Sumpter. The company has no disclosed external investors, no parent entity, and operates as an independent founder-owned LLC.
