Packebush Excavating

A Legacy of Precision and Integrity Since 1974

Wichita’s Trusted Excavation Company for Over 50 Years

Packebush Excavating was built on a simple promise — do the job right and treat people right. Founded in 1974, our company has grown from a small local crew into a respected name in excavation across Wichita, Kansas and surrounding areas. With five decades of hands-on experience and a fleet of advanced equipment, we continue to provide high-quality excavation services that support the success of every project we take on.


As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in our work and in the relationships we build with our clients. Whether we’re preparing a foundation for a new home, trenching for utilities, or clearing a commercial lot, our mission stays the same: deliver precise, reliable excavation with no shortcuts.

Our story

Built from the Ground Up

William Packebush started Packebush Excavating with a strong work ethic, a single machine, and a passion for doing things the right way. Over the years, the business has expanded to serve a wide range of clients — from homeowners and homebuilders to commercial developers and utility companies.



Through changing technology, regulations, and project scopes, we’ve remained focused on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. Our long-standing success comes from staying true to our values, investing in the right tools, and always being willing to put in the work.


Today, we continue to serve Wichita and surrounding communities with the same commitment to excellence that started it all.
