Family Owned And Operated

Owner, John P. Nilsen’s, interest in excavation began at the young age of 14 years old, when he purchased his first backhoe. After he graduated from Fox Lane High School in Bedford, NY, he established his excavation business known as J.P. Nilsen Excavating. Today, 39 years later, the business continues to be family owned and operated, servicing all aspects of site excavation, septic systems, repairs, and much more. In 2005 John’s son Daniel Nilsen joined the family business to help keep up with the increasing demands of work and technology in the excavation business. J.P. Nilsen Excavating provides service to a large area of Southern New York, including Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
