Dirt Work in Hattiesburg and Forrest County

In Hattiesburg, dirt work most often shows up as subgrade prep for shops, barns, and additions.

Inland Hattiesburg dirt work often fights clay moisture and soft pockets along creeks.

We bench cuts, protect utilities, and keep trench walls stable while work is open in Hattiesburg. Backfill lifts get compacted in passes so slabs and utilities do not sit on loose fill.

When haul distance shifts the production rate, we say so before mobilization, not after ticket pileup. Subgrade is left ready for the next trade, whether that is concrete, pipe, or a final grade pass. We typically stage mid and full-size excavators around Forrest County access, not a one-size machine list.

5 verified reviews Louisiana & MS Gulf Coast

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.

Earthworks Solutions has handled several projects for me over the past couple of years. The work is done right every time. Josh's attention to detail is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is fully satisfied. If you're considering Earthworks Solutions, you won't be disappointed.
