What I do

Work I take on

If it needs a tractor and it is not a job for a full excavation crew, it is probably something I can do. If it is not, I will tell you who to call.

Driveway grading

Reshaping the crown, filling ruts and potholes, and cutting the ditches back open so the drive sheds water instead of holding it.

Box blade · Landscape rake

Land & brush clearing

Taking back overgrown lots, fence lines, and trails that have not been touched in years. Brush, saplings, and briars.

Brush hog · Grapple

Pad & site leveling

Flat, compacted ground for a shed, barn, shop, or camper. Cut and filled to grade so what you put on it sits level.

Box blade · Bucket

Post holes

Fence posts, gate posts, and deck footings. Straight, plumb, and dug to the depth you need rather than the depth that is easy.

Auger

Field & pasture mowing

Keeping pasture, hay ground, and vacant lots knocked down before it gets away from you and turns into clearing work.

Rotary cutter

Hauling & spreading

Gravel, topsoil, and mulch moved and spread where you want it, instead of left in a pile at the end of the drive.

Bucket · Rear blade

How it should be built

Why a drive washes out

Nearly every gravel drive fails for the same reason: the water has nowhere to go. A drive with a proper crown sheds to the ditch on both sides. A flat one holds water, softens underneath, and turns to ruts by spring.

When I regrade a drive, I am rebuilding that crown and opening the ditches back up so it stays put. Adding rock to a drive that does not drain is money down the hill.
