Earth Work Services

Desmond Tutu Enterprises can complete all aspects of earth work for projects of any size for any client. We use the latest technology so that we can tackle any type of earth work on even the largest of projects while maintaining the tightest standards.

What is earth work?

At its simplest, earth work is really just the movement of one part of a land surface (think dirt) from one location to another. However, earth work encompasses many types of projects, including digging, excavation, grading, processing, burrowing, clearing, and more. It also involves reshaping and reconditioning land surfaces to create new spaces properly prepared for future structures of many varieties. Earth work operations includes many types of jobs like slope failure repair, structure excavation, roadway excavation, ditch excavation, dam construction, backfill, shoulder backing, and even the removal of unwanted or previously buried objects.

What can you expect?

At Desmond Tutu Enterprises, we can tackle any earth work project for both residential and commercial clients. We specialize in digging ponds, mass grading, finish grading, and importing or exporting materials. But really, the possibilities are endless.
Our key services include cleaning and rebuilding existing ponds to optimize water retention and capacity. In older ponds and tanks, we remove silt and mud. And based on the land needs and capabilities of the project, we can improve or build a pond in a matter of weeks. For rural, residential, and commercial properties, we construct, water, and grade gravel and crushed rock roads. Some projects may last one week, while others may span a few years. It all depends on the design, construction, and main goal of the client. We can manage it all.

As a long-established company, we understand that the characteristics and challenges of every job site are unique. To ensure the success of every project, we have direct consultations with our clients and continually plan and prepare for every possible scenario.

With years of experience and knowledge of regulatory demands, our team of experts ensures that final grading is conducted with care. We always perform with the highest levels of professionalism and expertise. You can count on us to continually have your project’s best outcome in mind. No matter the difficulty, our team will get it done.

We do it best.

At Desmond Tutu Enterprises, we know and understand dirt. We consistently maintain the structural stability of any given site and make sure that all soil is uniformly compacted. The foundation we build during the construction stage of a project can support any type of structure or surface built on top, regardless of whether dirt needs to be moved or brought in. With superior workmanship and on-time completion, we take pride in our work.

There is more to earth work than merely moving dirt. We know that potential problems are uncovered during all phases of a project’s unique process. So even before we break ground, we make sure our team is trained to maintain the highest level of flexibility, problem solving, and communication with the client. It is this planning that sets us apart.

To provide our clients with the highest quality service, Desmond Tutu Enterprises combines the latest technology and equipment with our well-trained and experienced land breaking crews. We are simply the best at what we do. Smith Trucking Company has provided the earth work for the largest developers and home builders in America. To find out more, see our projects page.
