Commercial and residential earthwork across Orleans Parish. Insured crew, written estimates, and straight talk about schedule.
Ground conditions, drainage, access, and the local development pattern in New Orleans all change how grading, dirt work, and clearing should be scoped.
Earthwork in New Orleans, LA, means reading Orleans Parish before iron hits the ground. Organic and silty soils with high water tables, historic fill, and slab-on-grade lots that demand careful elevation work.
Tight lots, alley access, and oak root zones make staging equipment and spoils handling a planning job, not a guess. We carry insurance, use written scopes, and size equipment to the access and cleanup reality instead of the easiest machine to send.
Whether the job is grading, clearing, dirt work, or a support scope, pricing should track measurable conditions instead of vague allowances. Population about 380,000. Buyers still expect the response and accountability of a local crew.

Verified feedback from clients across Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
We hired Josh and Earthworks Solutions for a couple of projects at our home and came away impressed. Josh took the time to explain the difference between what we wanted and what we actually needed, then delivered beyond our expectations. He and his team were respectful of our time and our home throughout. Josh's knowledge of landscaping and horticulture is deep, and he's genuinely great to work with.
Josh has handled several projects for us. He built a rock road in our backyard for our boat, and we didn't have to think twice about it. He handled everything from start to finish and the work was excellent. We also had a swimming pool removed, which left our backyard a mess. Josh brought in dirt, regraded the area, and it looks amazing now. We liked his work so much we had him put in a brand new lawn for my mother, including scraping out the old lawn, laying new sod, and installing an irrigation system. Her lawn looks incredible. Josh is efficient, professional, and fairly priced.
For more than 10 years, Josh has done an outstanding job maintaining my lawn. His professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. Lawn care is clearly more than a job to him, it's a craft. Every time he finishes, my yard looks beautiful, and I never have to worry about the quality of the work. If you want someone dependable, skilled, and genuinely invested in the results, I recommend Earthworks Solutions without hesitation.

Read the guide →Residential jobs usually move faster because there are fewer approval layers. Commercial scopes take longer because schedules depend on inspections, handoffs, truck access, and coordination with other trades.
