Dirt Work & Site Preparation

Get Your Property Ready the Right Way

Every outdoor project starts with dirt work. Whether you're building a shed, installing a patio, or creating new planting beds, the ground needs to be cleared, leveled, and prepped before anything else happens. Poor site prep causes settling, drainage problems, and projects that fail within a few years. We handle the excavation, grading, and base work that sets up your project for success from the start.We own excavators, skid steers, and grading equipment that handle residential and light commercial dirt work efficiently.

Our crew clears vegetation, removes rocks and debris, strips and stockpiles topsoil, and grades base layers to proper elevation and slope. We compact soil correctly so surfaces don't sink after the first rain. Whether you need a level pad for construction, base prep for hardscapes, or regrading to fix drainage, we manage the groundwork that everything else depends on.Wilmes Lawn Care has handled dirt work and site prep across Maryville and northwest Missouri since 2015.
