General Dirt Work

Drainage, grading, fill, demo.

▦ Placeholder · Dirt Work

The companion service. Every other capability bumps into general dirt work eventually — the hunting lease needs drainage cut along the new shooting lane, the developer needs the access road graded before the surveyors arrive, the rancher needs the old equipment shed knocked down and the slab pulled. Same iron, same crew, often the same week, one invoice.

Site walk. Mobilize. Execute. Walk off.

  1. 01

    Site Walk

    Owner or procurement lead walks the property with us, on site or via drone. We scope acreage, terrain, access, sensitivities (wetlands, utility crossings, sensitive trees), and the finish you actually want.

  2. 02

    Mobilization

    Equipment lowboys into the site. SWPPP, erosion control, and operator-window logistics handled. COI, named-additional-insured, and waiver-of-subrogation endorsements issued on request.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Big iron does the work — 300+ HP mulchers, excavators, dozers as the job calls for. Daily check-ins, drone progress shots on jobs over 5 acres, daily SWPPP inspection on industrial sites.

  4. 04

    Walk-Off

    Demobilize, restore stage areas, final walk with the owner or procurement rep. Drone before/after package delivered. Invoice when you sign off — not before.

Questions

General Dirt Work.
Answered before the call.

Bidding questions, terrain questions, insurance questions — asked and answered.

Will you do dirt work as a standalone job?
Yes. Small standalone dirt-work jobs (drainage cut, access road grading, light demo) are welcome — we'll bid them straight, no minimum-mulching requirement.
Can you handle post-storm cleanup?
Yes — vegetative debris, demolition debris, ROW restoration, road-clearing. Sub-grade for FEMA-aligned debris contracts through prime contractors, or direct under parish / state contracts.
Do you do demolition of old structures?
Light demo, yes — sheds, slabs, old fence runs, abandoned outbuildings. Heavy demolition (multi-story, asbestos, hazmat) is referred to a specialized demo contractor.
What states do you cover?
South Louisiana is primary (Acadiana, Baton Rouge corridor, Lake Charles, Northshore, New Orleans metro, central LA). East Texas through Tyler / Longview / Lufkin and into the Houston metro reach. South Mississippi below the red line (601/769/228). NW LA, NE LA, north MS, south AL/AR opportunistically for bigger jobs.
How fast can you mobilize?
For procurement-grade operator windows, 24-hour mobilization is routine. For landowner work, typically the same week once the quote is signed. Storm activation: pre-staged for hurricane season every June through November.
Are you insured and prequalified?
$2M / $5M general liability, $10M umbrella, $1M auto, statutory workers' comp + $1M ELL. ISN / Avetta / Veriforce / PEC Premier active. MSA-ready. Typical COI turnaround is under 4 business hours during drilling windows.
Do you publish pricing?
No. Every job is bid based on acreage, terrain, target finish, access, and operator window. Quote conversations happen live — call or email and we'll walk it together.
