R. H. Marlin Excavating, LLC just recently relocated to Martinsville, Indiana due to the I-69 interstate project taking away our long-time location at I-465 and Thompson Road in Indianapolis.
In 1920, Robert Hugh Marlin was given a horse and buggy as a wedding present from his mother. The Monroe County native traded the gift for a team of work horses. He then began excavating at Indiana University and other areas in Bloomington with borrowed equipment.
Two years later, Mr. Marlin expanded his excavation business to Indianapolis working on several city projects including Eli Lilly and Company.
In the early 1930’s the business had grown to a Model-T truck and thirty-two teams of horses. Over the next 10 years Mr. Marlin purchased a dragline crane and 125 dump trucks to work on Camp Atterbury and coal mines located in Indiana and Kentucky.
In 1970, Robert Hugh Marlin passed away at the age of sixty-seven, leaving behind his wife Roxie, six sons, five daughters and their spouses to continue the family business. Today, R. H. Marlin Excavating, LLC is owned by Charley F. Robertson, and Ann (Marlin) Robertson. Charley has solely owned and operated R. H. Marlin since 1995 and has grown the company to where it is today. Charley sold R. H. Marlin, Inc. to his daughter Michele (Robertson) Fox at the end of the year 2022 and continues to run R. H. Marlin Excavating, LLC today.
