Our Story

Schrader Excavating & Grading Co. was founded by Shane Schrader in Walford, Iowa. Locally owned and operated, our company has been growing strong since 2007. In 2018, we expanded by purchasing a dedicated shop to service our growing fleet of equipment and vehicles. By November 2019, we proudly opened our new corporate office. Built on hometown values and trust, we have established a reputation for excellence in Eastern Iowa and beyond.
