Our History
There is a sense of family, hard work and honesty around Poindexter Excavating. It’s been there from the beginning with 15 employees and it is there today in a company that has over 300 employees.
Billy Poindexter started Poindexter Excavating in 1979 with a business card listing his name and home phone number – the quality of his work was all the advertising he needed. Poindexter Excavating experienced regular steady growth in its early years. In the late 1980s several large jobs, including one that involved more than a million cubic yards of earth moving, pushed Poindexter to a new level. Through the 90s Poindexter continued to grow, add more equipment and hire more employees – today they are handling more than 85 projects each year, involving millions of cubic yards of earth packed and hauled, making Poindexter one of the largest excavating firms in Indiana.
Poindexter Excavating has been a union shop from day one and is proud to continue that tradition of excellence and quality today. The pride, work ethic and integrity that Billy Poindexter used to start the company are in evidence in every aspect of Poindexter Excavating. Those values have created a company that is Central Indiana’s leader in site development.
