Yard turning into a pond? Driveway washing out? I'll come dig us out of it.

I'm Brandon Bange — 15 years running skid steers, excavators, high-lifts, and dozers across Lincoln, Pike, and Warren county. Installing French drains that carry standing water out, grading the spots that pond, fixing the drainage that's eating at your foundation, tearing out cracked old concrete and coordinating the new pour, and prepping driveways so the family hauler stops scraping bottom. We don't just move dirt — we solve property problems. And I come out and bid every job myself.

God Guides, We Grade.

Why “God Guides, We Grade.”

My faith isn't a marketing line — it's how I was raised to work. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” (Colossians 3:23.) That's the bar. It means I treat your property like the work matters, because to me it does. God guides the land; I just help you grade it so it works the way you need it to.

As a husband, father, and business owner, my faith shapes how I run things. The company runs on one simple idea — “God Guides, We Grade.” Integrity, hard work, and treating people the way you’d want to be treated.

God’s first in my life — everything else is built on that. After Him, my drive comes straight from home: my wife of seven years, Allie, and our three kids, Rylann, Scarlett, and Owen. They’re the reason I do the job right and keep my word. When I come bid your property, I treat it the same way I’d want somebody to treat my own family’s place — honest about what it needs, careful with your money, and built to hold up for years. The values we live by at home are the same ones I bring to your dirt.

I’m not here to preach at you from a job site. I’m here to fix your drainage and build your driveway right. But if you were wondering where the name comes from — that’s it.

What I do — and what I don't

I solve property problems for homeowners.

Drainage that's failing, a yard you can't use, a building site that needs prepping, access that washes out, concrete that's cracked and heaved — that's the work. You're not really buying dirt work; you're buying a dry basement, usable land, a solid place to build, an access road that holds, and the peace of mind that it got done right the first time.

What I don't do: commercial site work, civil demo, landscaping pitches, or a $25K patio-and-pergola upsell. You asked for a property problem solved, so that's what you get a bid for.

Where I work

Where I work

Lincoln County dirt — and the towns right across the line

I'm home-based and owner-operated, so there's no storefront to drive to — I come to you. Here's the ground I cover most. Tap your town for what the dirt does there and the work I've done nearby.

Work I've done right here in the county

Real Lincoln County jobs — not stock photos of somebody else's dirt

Real reviews from real neighbors are on the way.

I post them with a first name and a town as folks send them in — I don't run made-up quotes. Want to be the first? Book a bid and I'll earn it.

Tired of looking at that swamp every spring?

Tell me what's going on. I'll come out, walk the property, and give you a straight bid — usually this week, with the work in the next two-to-three.

Why folks around here call me

No voicemail. No runaround. My name's on the machine.

  • Every call gets answered — day or night

    No voicemail black hole, no form that disappears into nowhere. You get a real answer fast, and I come bid the job myself.

  • I know this dirt

    Lincoln County is clay-heavy hardpan up on the ridges and river-bottom soil down by the Mississippi. Both drain different. I've dug holes in both.

  • Straight money talk

    I'll give you a real number and tell you what it depends on once we see what's under there. No vague "contact us for pricing" runaround.

  • Family-owned and operated

    This is my name on the machine. I'm not going to do your job halfway and disappear.

Questions I get a lot

Questions I get a lot

My yard floods every time it rains. Can you actually fix that?

Oh, absolutely — that's the most common call I get. Usually it's one of two fixes: regrade the yard so water runs away from your foundation, or dig in a French drain to catch it and route it out. When I come bid it, I'll tell you which one your yard needs and why.

What's this going to cost me?

Most residential grading or driveway jobs are a day or two of work, and I'll give you a real number when I bid — not a vague "depends." It does genuinely depend on what we find when we dig, and I'll be straight with you about that up front instead of surprising you on the invoice.

Do you pour the concrete or do the landscaping too?

I don't pour it myself or do landscaping — but here's the new part: if your old concrete has to come out, I tear it out, haul it off, and prep the base, and through a premium partnership with Schultz Concrete I coordinate the new pour for you. One call, dirt to finished concrete. For new pads, I prep the ground so your concrete guy can do his part right. I still won't pitch you services you didn't ask for.

How fast can you get out here?

I bid most jobs the same week you call, and the work usually lands in the next two-to-three weeks depending on weather. If you'd rather not wait on a form, just call me at (573) 754-2482 or text me a photo of the problem and I'll tell you what I'm looking at.
