Sturtz Excavating is the business that began on the seat of a piece of heavy equipment as the brainchild of Russell Sturtz. Once described by a newspaper as a barrel-chested crane operator who always clenched an unlit cigar between his teeth, Russell began his career in construction in the 1970s as an oiler and greaser. He slowly worked his way up, joining the celebrated International Union of Operating Engineers and eventually becoming a skilled heavy equipment and crane operator.
Russell eventually formed his own business, choosing to focus on both residential and commercial construction projects in Oswego County and Central New York. Over the years, the family business has expanded to include screeners, excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, and backhoes and pay loaders. We handle hundreds of jobs each year, but we continue to deliver quality work on time and on budget.
If you are one of our many repeat customers, we thank you for your business and look forward to working with you on your next construction project. If you are a new customer, please consider us for your next job. You won’t be disappointed.
