Since 1976, Shipps Excavating—a family-run excavation and grading specialist in Venice, Florida—has built its reputation on precision and reliability across Southwest Florida.

Now, Jonathan Shipps is steering the company into the future by embracing Trimble’s cutting-edge GNSS machine-control technology—including Earthworks, Siteworks, and smart GNSS antennas and controllers.
