What we do
Complete Dirt Work and Land Services
Every successful project starts with a solid foundation. Rs & Ls Dirtwork specializes in a full range of services designed to prepare your land for whatever comes next, including:

Pond Building
We dig and shape ponds the right way, compact banks, and set proper overflow so water levels stay stable. Built for livestock, recreation, or property value — finished clean and ready to hold.

Dirt Work & Site Preparation
Grading, cutting, filling, and compaction to get ground level and stable. We prep for homes, shops, barns, or ag use so builders can start without drainage or foundation headaches.

Land Clearing
Brush, trees, and stumps removed fast and clean. We open up usable ground, improve access, and leave sites ready for pads, ponds, fencing, or future development.

House Pads
Solid, properly compacted pads that meet local standards and shed water correctly. We coordinate elevations with your builder so the slab sits right and stays right.

Lake Overflow Systems
Smart drainage that protects dams and shorelines. We size and install overflow systems to move water safely during heavy rains and prevent erosion or washouts.

Driveways & Culverts
Gravel drives and access roads shaped with the right slope and base, and correctly sized culverts to keep water moving.
