"For the past two years, Tim and Down & Dirty Land Clearing have done my site work, excavating, and trail making. Excellent workmanship and a clear commitment to safety every step of the way. Tim genuinely cares about doing the job right.
I will continue my relationship with Down & Dirty and can comfortably recommend them."
"We had CS Excavating install a wood privacy fence at our house. The natural terrain of a hillside full of rocks presented challenges, but Chad and his crew tackled those issues and completed an outstanding installation for us! Chad did not use the flimsy pre-fabricated fence panels from a big box store. They set each post in concrete, measured and custom cut every board individually to ensure a straight, plumb, and level fence. It looks awesome!! Not only did CS Excavating complete the job on budget, they even finished early! If you need a fence or excavating work in the Branson area, you need CS Excavating!"
"Yes. The pro did the job right and efficiently! I had a pretty deep drop in the lay of the land right past the house. They sloped the land nicely, making a gentle slope with no danger of falls happening, making it possible to have a backyard behind the house. They also moved piles of dirt to other areas out of sight on the property
I am very satisfied. I would highly recommend Brothers in Dirt!"
General contractors handle site clearing, grading, and earthwork across the region. Certified specialists focus on septic system installation, managing percolation tests and drain field trenching. Utility professionals dig trenches for private water and propane lines. Pond and lake contractors build dams and spillways. Foundation excavators manage rock removal for basements, while other professionals build and grade access roads for heavily timbered properties in rural Ava, MO.

Directing gutter downspouts toward excavated areas accelerates erosion and undermines soil compaction. Overwatering landscaping near trenches causes clay-heavy MO soils to expand and contract, degrading the work over time. Planting deep-rooted trees near buried utility lines disrupts the site. Finally, running heavy mowers over recently backfilled areas before full settlement creates sinkholes and depressions on your rural Ava property. Maintain your drainage channels to prevent washouts.
Helpful?
Depth assessment and bedrock planning are the most sensitive parts of excavating in Ava. The local karst terrain features limestone bedrock and unpredictable sinkholes. Rushing site evaluation before digging poses severe safety hazards and causes sinkhole collapses. Properly compacting soil on sloped terrain prevents slippage during heavy MO spring rains. Confirm actual utility line depths, since older rural installations sit at inconsistent depths.
Helpful?
Gather your property survey, well location, and septic system drawings before starting any excavating work. Document your 811 ticket confirmation and mark private utilities, including propane tanks and rural water lines. Take clear photos of current drainage patterns, seasonal wet spots, and any known sinkhole activity. Note whether your property sits inside Ava city limits to ensure your local professionals secure the correct MO permits.
Helpful?
Documenting your property's sinkhole history and depth to bedrock is critical before starting an excavating project. Knowing your exact soil type guides drainage design and compaction planning. Locate your septic tank, drain field, and reserve areas to prevent damage. Identify recorded easements and floodplain status to ensure legal compliance. Determine if your property falls within Ava city limits or rural Douglas County to follow proper MO regulations.
