Driveway Installation
Driveways with purpose—built to last.
A good driveway does more than get you from point A to B—it holds up to weather, wear, and time. At Stroud Dirt Works, we don’t just carve a path—we build it right from the ground up. With proper grading, a solid base, and the right materials, we install driveways that drain well, stay smooth, and stand strong. No shortcuts. No band aid fixes. Just a clean, durable driveway that’s ready for the long haul.
tHANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT! SOMEONE FROM OUT TEAM WILL REACH OUT TO YOU SHORTLY.

What a Well Built Driveway Sets in Motion
Laid with purpose. Built to hold up.
A quality driveway isn’t just about access—it’s about building something that lasts. Whether it’s your home entrance, farm lane, or shop approach, a well installed driveway sets the tone for how the rest of your property functions.
At Stroud Dirt Works, we don’t just blade a path and call it good. We build driveways with a plan. That means evaluating slope, soil, drainage, and traffic needs before a single load of rock hits the ground.
Every job starts with a simple question: What do you need this driveway to do? From there, we shape the base, grade it for proper runoff, and finish it clean—so it stays solid no matter the season.
Because a good driveway isn’t just a surface—it’s the start of everything that comes next.

We keep it super simple.

Excavation and Base Prep
Grading and Compaction
We start by walking your property to assess terrain, soil conditions, drainage, and access needs. From there, we map out the ideal path, width, and slope to ensure your driveway is functional, durable, and works with the land—not against it.
Once the plan is approved, we excavate the path and prepare a solid base using quality materials like rock or gravel. Proper base prep is key to preventing washouts, ruts, and future maintenance issues.
With the base in place, we carefully grade the surface for optimal water runoff and smooth travel. Every layer is compacted for long term strength, ensuring your driveway holds up under traffic and Iowa weather.
04
Finishing Touches
We finish by dressing the surface with your chosen material, gravel, crushed rock, etc. and, shaping the edges, and ensuring a clean transition to the road or garage. Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure it’s done right.
Before we pack up, we walk the site with you to make sure everything matches your expectations. We’ll go over the layout, discuss water fill options, and answer any questions you’ve got. We don’t leave until it’s right.

Our family is truly grateful to Tommy. Thank you so much
Excellent work. Came out and gave us an estimate. Started work when we were ready to take on the project. Pricing was very reasonable. Tommy is professional, friendly and extremely easy to work with! Our dam needed repaired. He came out and fixed the issue, repaired and graded and then had him do our second pond. Love how it looks! Now bring on the rain.

Tommy has the integrity and grit to get any job done right the first time, every time.
He is great at working in jobs last minute, even when his schedule is full. He has helped with bringing our visions to life and has a great way of reimagining the way things can be done by going the extra mile to make it happen. He has helped with plumbing, drainage, tile work, grading, ponds, and even a mini golf course! If you are looking for a great local contractor who actually knows what he is doing and not a company that will make excuses of why you can’t get what you want then definitely call Tommy. He’s literally the best in the industry.

Great to work with.
I needed a small area worked and the other companies I called wouldn’t touch a job that didn’t net them 5,000 dollars. Stroud was over to give me a reasonable estimate within 2 hours and was able to squeeze the job into his schedule within a week. Super friendly, great service… will absolutely use again if I need more work done. Highly recommended.
