Josh & Angie

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.
