About Black Rhino Excavating
Black Rhino Excavating is a residential excavation company serving West Michigan. We specialize in site preparation, grading, drainage, driveways, and septic systems for homeowners and builders across the region.
We're owner-operated — which means the person responsible for your project has a direct stake in how it turns out. There's no layer of management between you and the people making decisions on your job. When something needs to be communicated, adjusted, or resolved, it happens fast.
Why it Matters
Excavation is one of the most consequential phases of any construction project. Once the structure is built, the sitework is buried — but its quality affects drainage, foundation stability, and long-term property performance for decades.
We don't treat excavation as dirt to move. We treat it as a problem to solve. Every site has different soil conditions, drainage patterns, and project goals. Our job is to read those conditions and shape the land in a way that sets everything above it up to last.
Precision Sitework. Clear Communication. Delivered on Schedule.
That's not a marketing line. It's the standard we hold every project to — because your property deserves work done right the first time.
Leadership
Founder & Owner
Zach Pieri
Zach spent more than a decade in commercial excavation before founding Black Rhino — long enough to see exactly how the industry treats customers when volume matters more than quality. He started BRX because he believed residential customers deserved better: a contractor who shows up when they say they will and communicates clearly from start to finish.
