Tschiggfrie Excavating

Tschiggfrie Excavating Co. was founded by Ed and Joan Tschiggfrie in the fall of 1963.  The company started out grading farm fields and digging basements and has since grown to cover diverse work categories consisting of construction management, concrete paving and structures, underground utilities, earthwork, trucking, and demolition. This has allowed Tschiggfrie Excavating Co. to help transform Dubuque and surrounding communities for decades. Experience is essential in construction, and Tschiggfrie has many loyal employees with decades of experience.

For over 60 years, the company has taken on many high-profile projects in the Tri-State Area. The company has assisted in many local emergencies like the flooding, train derailments, water and sanitary sewer main breaks, sinkholes, and large slide repairs. In addition, the company has helped expand the City of Dubuque with Tschiggfrie-initiated subdivisions like Shady Oaks, Clarke Crest, Birch Acres, Marna Ridge, Emerald Acres, and Alpine Park Community.
