The work
Four jobs cover most of what a piece of ground needs. If yours is not one of them, it is almost certainly still dirt work.
Digging is the part every other job waits on. The right depth, in the right place, with the sides holding and the spoil put somewhere it will not be in the way tomorrow. It is not forgiving work, and it decides how easy or how ugly everything after it goes.
Dirt work makes dirt. Some of it has to leave and some of it has to arrive, and a job stops dead the moment there is nowhere for either to go. We haul our own, so the pile and the load are part of the same plan.
A pond is a hole that has to hold water, which is a different problem from a hole. The water has to be kept in, the overflow has to be let out, and both have to be decided before the first bucket comes out of the ground.
A drive that keeps washing is usually a drainage problem in a gravel disguise. Until the water has somewhere to go besides down the drive, fresh rock is a temporary fix.
Let us know: the rest of your list
These four are the ones we could confirm from what is already public, so these four are on the page. Land clearing, grading, dozer work, demolition, site prep, whatever else comes off the trailer: tell us and each one gets its own card here.
Send the list in whatever form is easiest. We write the copy from your facts if you would rather not.
Let us know
[YOUR STORY, IN YOUR OWN WORDS]
This is the place for anything you would like people to know: the business, the people behind it, the history, who runs the machines, and what you would tell somebody standing in their own field trying to picture the finished job. If you’d like to include an image in this section let us know and we’ll add it.
Write as little or as much as you like. If you have a whole page’s worth to say, it becomes a page of its own. Or send us the basic facts and we will write it for you and send it back for your approval.
Reading the ground
Most dirt jobs announce themselves a season or two before anybody picks up the phone. Here is what the usual signs tend to mean.
A low spot that holds after every rain is a grade problem, not a weather problem. Ground settles, gets driven on, gets built next to, and the water finds the new low. It usually takes dirt to fix, not a pump.
Fresh rock every spring means water is running down the drive instead of off it. Until the crown and the ditch are right, gravel is a subscription.
A pond dropping faster than the weather explains is losing it somewhere: through the bottom, through the dam, or around the pipe. Which one it is decides what the fix actually is.
Every cut makes a pile, and a pile in the wrong place is in the way of the next thing. Where the spoil goes belongs in the plan, not in the afternoon it becomes a problem.

Let us know: how far you travel
The four counties on this page came off your own public listings, so they are marked for you to confirm. Tell us the real line, whether that is tighter, wider, or measured in miles instead of counties, and the list changes to match.
If there is anywhere you would rather not be called about, that works the same way.

Four things make the first conversation a short one, and every one of them is something you can settle in your own yard.
Town and county, and roughly how a truck gets in. Some jobs are a gate off the blacktop and some are a half mile of pasture.
Feet, acres, or the size of something nearby. Round numbers are fine and nobody is holding you to them.
Drain, hold water, hold a building, or carry a loaded truck. The finished job decides the work more than the hole does.
If 811 has already been out and the lines are marked, say so.
