People
Zach Johnson
Owner
Im Zach Johnson, owner of Midwest Xcavation. Ive been in the underground and utility industry for over 14 years, starting out as a laborer and working my way up through the ranks. Over the years, Ive gained hands-on experience in excavation, trenching, utility work, and safety eventually becoming a natural gas pipeline inspector for major energy companies. Ive worked on everything from fiber and water lines to gas mains and septic systems, learning every step of the process along the way.
After years in the field, I decided to go out on my own and start Midwest Xcavation to bring quality, reliable excavation services to my local community. I take pride in honest work, fair pricing, and doing the job right the first time just like I was taught when I first picked up a shovel. Today, I combine real-world experience with a strong understanding of industry standards and safety to serve homeowners and contractors throughout Bloomington and the surrounding areas.
