Brady Sand & Gravel, Inc. — Excavating Contractors, Tecumseh, MI

Family owned since 1939

About Us

Brady Sand & Gravel, Inc. has been family owned and operated in Tecumseh, Michigan since 1939. What began as a small local pit has grown into a full-service excavating contractor and bulk material supplier serving the greater Lenawee County area for more than 85 years.

From our pit and yard at 2978 W Russell Rd, we supply a variety of bulk materials — sand, gravel, limestone, topsoil and decorative stone — picked up or delivered in loads from 3 to 30 tons.

Our construction crews handle commercial, residential and industrial site work: mass grading, demolition, erosion control, retention ponds, highway work, and complete underground utility installation including directional boring.

Four generations of experience, our own truck fleet, and a working sand and gravel pit mean your project gets the right material and the right equipment, from people who answer the phone. Call us at (517) 423-4900.
