We started in 2019 with one dump truck and a skid steer. Seven years later, we're still owner-operated — and the founder still walks most sites before the first quote goes out.
From a single dump truck and skid steer to an 8-person operation with a full equipment yard. The growth has been steady on purpose — we'd rather take fewer jobs and do them right than chase scale we can't deliver on.
Started in Festus, MO with one excavator and a straightforward goal — show up on time, do it right, and stand behind the work. The first crew is one operator and one truck.
Demand grows faster than expected. We add equipment, hire full-time operators, and build out the yard. We tighten fine grade tolerance to fractions of an inch.
First subdivision and commercial pad jobs — the work that turned us from a residential outfit into a contractor that takes larger commercial and developer scopes.
After subbing out hydroexcavation work, we bring it in-house with a fully outfitted hydrovac truck and two NULCA-certified operators. New capability, same standards.
Every contractor says they care about quality and safety. Here's what those words actually mean to us — in policies, in habits, and in the work we turn down because it would mean breaking one of them.
No quotes from blueprints alone. Soil, access, neighbors, water, surprises — you find them by being there. That's why our quotes are accurate and our schedules don't slip.
Our fleet is ours, our operators are full-time employees, and every one of them is licensed and certified on the equipment they run. No daily-rentals, no rotating contractors, no excuses.
Photos, measurements, compaction tests, manifests — every job ends with a clean record of what was done. Five years from now, you'll know exactly what's underground.
If a project's scope or timeline isn't realistic, we'll say so before we sign. A bid you can't deliver on isn't a win — it's a problem you're paying for later.
We own everything we run. That means we set the maintenance schedule, we know the machines inside out, and we never pass rental markups onto your invoice. Here's a snapshot of the yard.
We're a 75-mile-radius operation. Close enough that we can make an emergency call within hours, far enough that we work across most of the metro region and surrounding communities.
We respond to inquiries within 24 hours and can typically have a quote walk-through scheduled within 3–5 business days. Active projects across:
Outside this area? Reach out anyway — we take select large projects further afield.
Every certification and membership we hold — for the projects and partners that need to verify before we mobilize.
