About us

Thompson Excavating's compact excavator at a utility job

Owner-operated, start to finish

Thompson Excavating & Landclearing is a locally owned company based in St. Joseph, Missouri. The owner bids the work, runs the equipment and stays in touch until the job is done, so you're never wondering who to call.

"We take pride in doing quality work, staying on schedule, and communicating the right way."

We work directly for homeowners and property owners, and as a sub for builders, developers, general contractors and utility crews.
