Holdrege, Nebraska · Phelps, Kearney, Franklin & Harlan Counties
Skid steer and mini excavator work for rural land — clearing, building pads, driveways and drainage. Tell me about the ground you've got, and I'll tell you what it takes to change it.
Two machines, two jobs
Grapple and root rake for brush, cedar and old fence rows. Mini excavator for stumps, trench and cut. Most rural acreage work lands somewhere between the two.
Services & sample pricing
Starting numbers attached, so you know roughly where you stand before we talk. Actual pricing depends on acreage, ground conditions and how far the machine has to travel.
01 / Before
Cedar, hedge, volunteer timber and fence rows that have been winning for a decade. Ground you can't walk across, let alone build on.
After
Stumps grubbed, tops piled, ground walked clean and left ready for the next pass.
from $1,900 / acre
02 / Before
A slope with topsoil still on it and no level spot for a foundation, a shop floor or a pad of gravel.
After
Cut, filled and packed to grade — ready for the concrete truck or the building package.
from $1,450
03 / Before
Ruts, mud and a two-track that swallows a pickup every spring thaw, with nowhere for the water to go.
After
Laid out, crowned and graveled, cut in so it drains instead of holding water.
from $2,800
04 / Before
Water sitting exactly where you want to build, park, garden or put in a lane.
After
Trench cut on grade, tile set and bedded, water sent downhill and away from the build.
from $650
05 / Before
Glacial rock and old root balls sitting right where you need to work, season after season.
After
Picked, piled and out of the way — billed by the hour so it stays fair on the small jobs.
$125 / hour
Sample starting prices shown for reference. Acreage, access and ground conditions are what move a number, and that's what the quote form is for.
How it works
From a messy acre to a finished one — starting with the form at the top of this page.
Start my quoteProject type, acreage and timeline. Those three answers are what turn a callback into a conversation instead of twenty questions.
I call with the questions the form can't ask — access, slope, water, what you're planning to build — and we set a time to walk the ground.
A price for your acreage and your project, not a guess made over the phone. You know what it costs before anything moves.
Skid steer and mini excavator on site, working in passes — clear it, cut it, shape it — and leave you with ground you can use.
Where I work
Work is scheduled across four counties in south-central Nebraska, so a project near the edge of the map is still worth a call.
Just outside the line? Say so in the form — the machines go where the work is.
The decision point
Acreage, project type, timeline. Send those three and I can come back with a real number instead of a list of questions — and it takes about a minute.
