What’s Included in Our Dirt Work Services

Our dirt work isn’t just moving soil around—it’s about setting your landscape up for long-term success. Every property is different, and we take the time to assess your needs and apply the right techniques to get the job done right the first time.

Land Grading & Leveling
Whether you're preparing for sod, a patio, or a new garden bed, we ensure your land is properly graded for water flow and stability.

Site Preparation for Landscaping or Construction
We clear and level areas for everything from flower beds to garages and pool decks. That includes debris removal, compacting, and soil adjustment.

Drainage Correction & Swales
If your yard pools water or erodes easily, we can install swales, build berms, or reshape the land to direct water away from structures and prevent runoff issues.

Topsoil Delivery & Spreading
Need a fresh layer of nutrient-rich soil? We bring in quality topsoil and spread it evenly, whether for turf, gardens, or planting areas.

Soil Amending for Planting
Louisiana’s clay-heavy soil can be tough on roots. We can till and amend your soil with compost, sand, or organic matter to promote drainage and plant health.

Materials and Equipment
We use the right tools for the job—including skid steers, mini-excavators, and compactors—and source high-quality topsoil, clay, sand, and fill dirt based on your project’s needs. Every dirt work project is tailored, not templated.

Why It Matters
In Northeast Louisiana’s unpredictable climate, proper dirt work is essential to avoid future headaches like erosion, flooding, and foundation settling. A well-prepared yard or build site ensures every layer above it—grass, plants, patios, and structures—has the support it needs to last.
