What land development Really Brings to Your Property
Cleared, leveled, and ready to build.
Whether you are starting a new home, putting up a shop, or improving a property for future use, solid land development is where it all begins. It’s more than moving dirt—It’s about shaping the land to support what’s next.
At Stroud Dirt Works, we handle every part of the process: clearing, excavation, grading, and infrastructure layout. We prep your land with precision, making sure slopes, drainage, and foundation areas are exactly where they need to be.
Every job starts with a conversation: What are you building—and how can we get your land ready to support it? From there, we create a plan that lines up with your vision and follow through with workmanship that stands up to Iowa’s toughest seasons.
A well prepped site saves time, money, and headaches—and sets your project up for long term success.
our process
We keep it super simple.
01
Site Evaluation and Planning
We start by walking your property to understand your goals and assess the site. This includes evaluating slopes, drainage patterns, soil conditions, and any potential problem areas. From there, we create a strategic plan to prepare the land for your intended use—whether it’s building, farming, or improving access.
02
Grading and Drainage Prep
Proper grading is key to a solid foundation. We use precision equipment to reshape the land, ensuring a level base, stable slopes, and effective drainage. This step prevents future water issues and sets the stage for everything that comes next—driveways, pads, buildings, or pastures.
03
Excavation and Dirt Moving
This is where the heavy lifting happens. We clear, cut, fill, and compact as needed to meet your project specs. Whether it’s digging out a building pad, creating a driveway, or adjusting terrain for better access, we handle it with care and efficiency.
04
Final Prep and Clean Finish
Once the land is shaped and compacted, we take care of the finishing details—smoothing out surfaces, installing erosion control if needed, and prepping the site for the next phase. We make sure everything is clean, stable, and ready to go.

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.
