One crew for the whole job
Concrete and excavation, under one roof.
Most jobs need both. A new garage means site prep, footings, a foundation, and a floor. A driveway means excavation, base work, forms, and a pour. Hiring one contractor who does both means one schedule, one point of contact, and one person accountable for the finished work.
Cluster 2
Excavation.
Land clearing, trenching, site prep, retaining walls, and drainage. Dirt work done right the first time so you're not redoing it in five years.

Concrete
Concrete Driveways
A concrete driveway is the single most visible piece of hardscape on your property — and in a Duluth winter, it has to fight freeze/thaw cycles, road salt, and plow trucks. We pour driveways that last.
Concrete
Concrete Slabs
Not every slab is a driveway or a garage floor. You need a pad for a shed, an AC condenser, a hot tub, an RV, or a new detached structure.
Concrete
Concrete Patios
A good patio is where the summer happens. We pour patios the right way — proper base, reinforcement, and drainage away from the house — and finish them to match your taste.
Concrete
Sidewalks
A cracked, heaved, or tilted sidewalk is a trip hazard and a code violation waiting to happen. We pour new sidewalks, replace failed sections, and bring public-frontage walkways up to city spec.
Concrete
Foundations & Footings
Your foundation is the part of the building you see last and depend on most. We pour footings and foundations for new builds, garage additions, sheds-turned-permanent structures, and room additions.
Concrete
Garage & Shop Floors
A garage floor has to handle vehicle loads, hydraulic jack pressure, dropped tools, salt and snow melt, and occasional chemical spills. Shop floors see all of that plus forklifts, lift pressures, and heavy tooling.
Concrete
Concrete Repair
Not every piece of bad concrete needs to be ripped out. Sometimes it does.
Excavation
Retaining Walls
Duluth has hills. Hills mean grade changes.
Excavation
Land Clearing
Got a lot that needs to become a building site? We clear it. Trees down, stumps out, brush chipped or hauled, debris removed.
Excavation
Trenching
Running a new water line, upgrading a service, burying a power feed to an outbuilding, or dropping in a drain tile? We trench clean, to the right depth, with the utility locates called and verified — and we backfill properly so you're not dealing with a settled trench a year from now..
Excavation
Site Preparation
Every successful build starts with the dirt under it. Site prep means taking raw ground and turning it into a clean, compacted, drained pad that's ready for a foundation, slab, driveway, or structure.
Excavation
Drainage & Erosion
Water kills more structures than fire. A basement that's damp every spring, a yard that's a swamp after every rain, a hillside that sheds mud onto the driveway — all of it comes down to drainage.

The owner
Tim Lindquist runs every job.
Hercules Jr. is a crew, not a chain. Tim is on most sites himself — which means when you have a question about your job, you're not talking to a project manager three levels removed from the dirt. You're talking to the guy running the excavator.
The name is a family name. The standard it sets is the standard we pour to. If we say it's going to be done, it's going to be done — and it's going to be done right.
