Founded in 1989 by father-son duo Louie and Jeff Johnson, Dakota Underground Company does municipal sewer & water utilities, earthmoving, grading, concrete paving, curb & gutter, concrete structures, and water transmission pipelines.
We work diligently behind the scenes to bid on public and/or private jobs in the tri-state area. Each construction season brings new and exciting additions to our portfolio of 400+ projects.
Our reputation as a reliable contractor who produces quality results at superior timelines is a testament to the hardworking people of our company, and the legacy left behind by Louie and his passion for quality construction done the right way.
Our superior pavements are designed to last 25-30 years in the most diverse climate conditions. Concrete pavement is considered a green practice for many reasons, one being the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from production compared to a hot mix asphalt. On top of being environmentally friendly, concrete paving is also more cost-effective in the long-term solution for road construction.

We use state-of-the-art GPS grade control systems which allow our employees to move materials accurately, quickly and safely. Once removed from a natural state, we are able to truck off excess materials or bring new materials on site. This is a low-cost, economical way to move materials fast. With earthmoving comes an environmental concern which we do not take lightly. Our key personnel have been trained in respective areas for erosion control and stormwater management.
