Our History

5,000+ Completed Projects

40+ Years Established

The Ryerson Family’s journey began in 1980 when Jon M. Ryerson founded Ryerson Sewer Installers with guidance from his father-in-law, Bob Kimble. Specializing in city water and sewer line installations and septic systems, Jon built a reputation for high-quality workmanship and dependability. His sons, Jon and Martin, gained valuable experience working in the family business before broadening their horizons in excavation and business administration.


In 2018, the brothers returned to West Michigan, acquiring the business and expanding its services under the name Ryerson Brothers Excavating LLC. Their vision elevated the company’s capabilities, allowing it to meet the growing needs of the community. In 2024, Lee Marcus joined the team as a majority partner, working alongside Jon to uphold the Ryerson legacy of excellence, while Martin pursued other ventures.

A Straightforward Process From Start to Finish

From your initial scope review and quote through the first day on site and final completion, you will know what is happening, what comes next, and who is responsible. We ask the right questions early, align expectations up front, and execute the plan as agreed.

Commercial clients value our ability to manage scope, timelines, and coordination with engineers, inspectors, and other trades. Residential clients appreciate a straightforward process, clear answers, and realistic expectations from day one.

Our experience spans utility installation, septic systems, and excavation work for both businesses and homeowners. Whether the project involves water, sewer, storm utilities, or site preparation, we focus on doing the work right, communicating clearly, and keeping projects moving forward.

We believe strong results come from preparation, communication, and accountability. Rather than making promises, we let our process, our work, and our clients’ feedback speak for itself.
