I grew up doing dirt work. My dad had an excavation company. I was operating machines before I knew how to drive ( I was driving around the ranch at age 8) I can dig houses, grade roads, do water/sewer lines, land clearing, basically anything that needs done with a machine. I am licensed and insured
