Shane Merrell and his team have always done outstanding work for me, from dirt and gravel work to installing septic tank and fill lines. They are a high quality and dependable group that care about their work. I highly recommend Merrell Backhoe for all your dirt moving projects!

Shane Merrell came to my aid for my aging father to bury his old beloved horse .He came almost immediately at the end of the day when he probably would have rather gone on home after a full days work. MANY THANKS Shane!

Brent Hasenbein

Shane and his son did an amazing job for me by demolishing an old mobile home. He used his machine to break up the trailer into small pieces and then compact his trucks reducing the number of loads to the landfill.
