❄️ SNOW & ICE SEASON IS COMING — SIGN UP NOW! ❄️

American Dirt Works is currently filling our 2026–2027 Snow & Ice Management routes.

💰 SIGN UP EARLY TO LOCK IN YOUR PRICING AND YOUR SPOT!

And we're NOT just looking for huge commercial lots. We are taking on small jobs too! Small businesses, offices, private lots, driveways, private roads, and smaller properties — give us a call.

One of the biggest advantages of signing up before the snow starts is giving us time to properly prepare your property.

Before everything gets buried, we can walk the property and identify and mark:

🚩 Curbs & islands
🚩 Fire hydrants
🚩 Catch basins & drainage areas
🚩 Parking blocks
🚩 Sidewalk edges
🚩 Landscaping
🚩 Other obstacles that could be damaged

Once there's 6–8 inches of snow on the ground, your operator can't see what's underneath it. Getting the property marked ahead of time helps us protect your property and minimize the chance of damage.

Big equipment. Tough jobs. We get it done.

American Dirt Works — Tough Jobs
Are you having trouble finding the right contractor for your project?
We’ve been working with a utility company on this hotel project off and on for quite a while now—and this one is no joke.
Thick rock. Tough digging. A long, slow process.
A lot of excavation companies don’t want to touch jobs like this because working through solid rock is absolutely brutal on equipment. It takes the right machines, the right attachments, experience, and a willingness to stick with it until the job is DONE.
But we will.
We’re not going to tell you it’ll be cheap. Hard work, heavy equipment, and difficult conditions come at a cost. But if you have a project that other contractors don’t want to tackle, give us a call.
We’ll figure out a way to get it done.

🔥 CHECK OUT THIS POOL PROJECT! 🔥
There is a LOT more going into this project than what you'll see when it's finished!
We’ve installed over 200 TONS of stone to build a solid, properly prepared base around this pool.
Next up is a full concrete slab surrounding the pool, reinforced with a 2' on-center rebar grid. Once the concrete is complete, it will be overlaid with beautiful pavers, with artificial turf incorporated throughout the pool area to bring the entire backyard together.
One important detail: Normally, we use epoxy-coated rebar in our exterior concrete work. On this project, we used standard steel rebar because the pool bonding system needed to be properly bonded to the reinforcing steel.
And drainage was a HUGE part of this project.
💧 French drain system installed beneath the turf areas to properly manage groundwater and drainage
💧 Approximately 1,000 feet of underground downspout drainage installed for the home
💧 Over 200 tons of stone placed and compacted
💧 Reinforced concrete with 2' O.C. rebar grid
💧 Paver overlay surrounding the pool
💧 Artificial turf throughout the finished pool area
When this project is finished, most people will only see the pavers, turf and pool.
We make sure what's underneath it is built just as well as what you can see.
That’s the difference between making something look good and building it to last.

From excavation and drainage to concrete, pavers, decks and complete outdoor living spaces — we can take your backyard project from dirt to finished.

Foundation Waterproofing & Drainage Project
Had a customer give us a call because they were having foundation water issues and needed drainage installed. We got the foundation excavated and exposed so the waterproofing and drainage could be completed correctly.
The customer asked if they could handle the waterproofing themselves. We said absolutely. At the end of the day, it's your project and we're here to help however we can.
Well, this is a perfect example of something we say all the time:
What's more expensive than a good contractor? A bad one.
Unfortunately, the waterproofing wasn't completed correctly, no drainage system was installed, no drainage stone was placed, and the footer itself was poured rough, out of square, and uneven, making it nearly impossible to properly scrape and prep the foundation wall.
These are all things that should have been addressed during the process, but now we're back to make it right.
The foundation is dug out, exposed, and ready for us to come back, install the drainage system, waterproof it correctly, and get this thing finished up the way it should have been done from the start.
Sometimes doing it twice costs a whole lot more than doing it right the first time.
📞 Give American Dirt Works a call if you're dealing with foundation leaks, drainage issues, or standing water around your home.

From Rough and Unusable to Smooth and Maintainable!
This homeowner recently had several trees removed from their backyard, leaving behind stumps, ruts, and an area that had become nearly impossible to mow and maintain.
Our crew stepped in to:
Remove the remaining stumps and root material
Eliminate low spots and uneven terrain
Smooth and shape the yard for proper drainage
Create a clean, mowable surface that's ready for grass growth
Sometimes the biggest transformations aren't flashy—they're the projects that make your property easier to enjoy and maintain every single day. The finished result is a smooth, clean backyard that looks great and can finally be mowed without fighting bumps, holes, and rough ground.
Need help reclaiming your yard after tree removal, drainage issues, or years of neglect?

Man, it’s been a busy few weeks for American Dirt Works.
We’ve been slammed with utility digging for several local companies lately. Haven’t had much time to grab photos, but here’s a few from some recent jobs.
This past Monday evening was one of those calls that reminds you why experience matters. We got an emergency call at 7:30 PM for a water line break—and worked straight through until 1 AM to get it patched and their water back on.
The crazy part?
It was only a 3-year-old home.
Unfortunately, the line failed because it was dug and installed improperly from the start. That’s the stuff that costs homeowners big down the road—and it’s exactly why we take the time to do it right the first time.
At American Dirt Works, we don’t just fix problems—we fix them the right way so you’re not dealing with the same issue again.
✔ Utility trenching & repair
✔ Water lines & drainage solutions
✔ Erosion control
✔ Gravel driveway repair (especially after this winter)
If you’ve got a problem, we’ve got the equipment and experience to handle it—fast, efficient, and done right.

Got a call this morning at 6:52 AM.
Customer says, “I’ve got a problem.”
I said, “We can help—what’s going on?”
Months ago their basement flooded due to clogged drains. They had it snaked—clog gone—but drainage stayed extremely slow after rain and snow melt. Then last weekend’s rain hit… and water backed up into the garage.
They had the line scoped.
Turns out the 4-inch pipe was partially crushed—barely open.
Customer tells me:
“I just put $25,000 into finishing my basement. I need this fixed NOW.”
I said, “We’ll be there by 10:30.”
Storm coming. No time to mess around.
Job scope:
Cut 17 ft x 45 inches of concrete driveway
Demo & haul-off
Set new base
Install drainage
Run 180 ft of new pipe
Is it pretty right now?
No.
Will it save this customer tens of thousands in basement repairs?
Absolutely.
Emergency service isn’t the cheapest—but when you need it done right and done now, we show up.
Customer’s happy.
Basement’s protected.
Stress gone.
👉 Day or night. Rain or shine.
If you need drainage fixed NOW, we’ve got you covered.
Concrete gets poured tomorrow. ✔️
