Medina Excavating

Medina Excavating was started in 1948 by Earnest Eastwood. The company primarily specialized land clearing and leveling with lakes and ponds. In 1965, the company was turned over to Earnest's son, Roger Eastwood. Roger continued working in Medina County. During that time the company expanded their services to do mass grading and quickly gained the... respect of many sewer contractors and developers for quality earth movers. The economic turn-down of the late 1970's created difficult times for the construction industry. Projects become scarce and many of the contractors and construction companies we developed relationships with simply couldn't survive and started disappearing. These were certainly trying times, but by the Lords grace Medina Excavating made it through and continued moving forward. Doug returned home early from college in 1983 to help out his father who had been diagnosed with a serious illness. The 20 year-old had a natural affinity for the family business and as a result he became a full-time employee of the company. As Roger's health improved so did the health of Medina Excavating. Over the next several years, Roger would groom Doug to lead the company into the future. In 1997, Doug Eastwood became the 3rd generation owner of Medina Excavating. The company grew into a full service earthmoving and underground utility company. In 2003 the company peaked with over five million in sales and over 35 employees. Doug is not only a leader in business, but also in the community. In 2014, he was appointed to a vacant seat for the Medina City Schools Board of Education. He and was re-elected to serve a 2nd term in 2018.Read More
