About Us

Built on Hard Work
and a Firm Handshake

I'm Matt Stroud, and I've spent over 15 years turning difficult terrain into solid ground for homeowners, builders, and businesses across Southeast Missouri. This isn't a franchise — it's my name on the truck and my reputation on every job.

Licensed & Insured

Fully licensed in Missouri with comprehensive liability coverage for your peace of mind.

On Time, Every Time

We show up when we say we will. No ghosting, no excuses — just reliable service.

Equipment You Can Trust

Well-maintained excavators, dump trucks, and skid steers — never stretched too thin across too many jobs.

What We Do

Services Built Around
Your Project

Whether you're breaking ground on a new build or cleaning up an old one, we've got the right machine and the right crew for the job.

Residential Excavation

Foundation digs, basement excavations, driveway approaches, and lot preparation. We treat your property like it's our own — clean cuts, proper slopes, no surprises.

Hauling & Dumping

Dirt removal, debris hauling, fill dirt delivery, and site cleanup. We load it, haul it, and dump it — legally and responsibly — so you don't have to.

Grading & Leveling

Proper grading prevents water damage and keeps structures stable. We grade for foundations, driveways, pads, and drainage — precision matters, and we deliver it.

Drainage Solutions

Standing water destroys foundations and landscapes. We install French drains, catch basins, grading corrections, and channel drains that actually move water away.

Commercial Projects

Site prep for commercial builds, parking lots, industrial pads, and utility trenches. We coordinate with contractors and keep projects moving on schedule.

Septic & Utility Work

Septic tank and drain field excavation, utility trenching, and underground utility preparation. We dig it right the first time — no re-digging, no wasted money.

Why Choose Us

The Stroud Difference

We're not the biggest crew in the state — and that's exactly why our clients keep coming back.

Owner-Operator

Matt is on every job site. You talk to the person who actually runs the equipment — no middleman, no miscommunication.

Fair, Upfront Pricing

Clear estimates with no hidden fees. We tell you what it'll cost before we dig — literally.

Fast Turnaround

We don't keep you waiting. Most residential jobs start within days of your call, not weeks.

Clean Job Sites

We leave your property cleaner than we found it. Tools packed, debris cleared, no mess left behind.
