From a young age, borrowing his father’s old Belarus tractor, Dan Smith developed a passion for hard work.

While still in high school. Dan started Smith Excavating with an old Case backhoe and a restored Mack truck named “Little Miss Mack”

After graduating from high school, Dan was installing septic systems and doing excavation full time. He soon added a new Cat 312 to further expand his capabilities.

Dan hires his first full-time employee and adds a Mack Tri Axle to his growing fleet.

Smith Excavating built their first facility in Pembroke Center which they proudly occupied for 18 years.

Smith Excavating expands to include Smith Septic Services. With the purchase of their first pump truck, the business grew to a 3 truck and 2 trailer operation.

Smith grows from a 4 to 10 person operation, all while remaining a family-oriented business

The septic division of the company was sold. The newly named "Smith and Sons" occupied a portion of the Copeland Lumber site in Marshfield and began their landscape supply endeavor.

Dan purchased the Copeland Lumber site and developed the property into what you see today.

Smith & Sons continues to look forward, expanding into land clearing and forestry services, wood waste recycling, landscape supplies and Husqvarna power equipment.
