Excavation, septic, driveways, and land clearing across North Iowa. Licensed, insured, and on your site when we say we'll be.
Everything between the survey stakes and the finished grade — one crew, one call.
Foundation digs, lot grading, site prep, and drainage correction for new builds and existing properties.
New installs, repairs, and replacements done to Iowa code with minimal disruption to your yard.
Gravel and base driveways built for Iowa's freeze-thaw, plus regrading and culvert work.
Brush, trees, and debris cleared to open up acreage for building, pasture, or resale.
Outbuilding teardown, dirt and gravel hauling, and job-site cleanup to keep things moving.
Ponds, farm sites, one-off projects — if it involves moving earth, just ask.
Dirt Poor Excavation is a family operation. When you call, you're not getting a sales rep — you're talking to the people who own the business and run the equipment.
We started this business with one idea: do honest work, show up when you say you will, and treat every job like it's on your own property.
Based in Mason City and serving all of North Iowa. Licensed and insured.
No upsells, no runaround. Clear quote and clear timeline before any dirt moves.
When we say we'll be there, we're there. Weather and timing matter.
We treat every job site like our own land — careful work, clean cleanup.
North Iowa soil, weather, and code requirements aren't a guessing game — it's home turf.
Tell us about your project — no pressure, no games.
