Based in Hammond, LA J-Rod's Dirt Work is a dirt work company out of Hammond. You explain the job once, we come look at the ground before we quote it, and the machine gets matched to the job: small equipment for a tight backyard, big equipment for open ground.
Baton Rouge and New Orleans sit about 45 minutes out, and we cover a 50 mile radius of Hammond. That takes us across Tangipahoa, Livingston, St. Tammany and Ascension parishes, and into southern Mississippi. Ground here is flat and slow to drain, with a high water table. Drainage decides most of what we do, so we plan every job around water.
Our banner says no job too big or too small, and we mean it. A single load of fill dirt dumped in one low spot is worth our time. So is a whole lot that needs land clearing before a builder can set a foundation. Estimates are free on either one, and residential and commercial work gets quoted the same way.
Meet J-Rod's Dirt WorkDirt work covers most of what happens to a piece of ground before and after a build. Here is the work we take on.

Stump removal for a single stump, a fence line full of them or a whole lot, around Hammond and across Southeast Louisiana. We dig the stump and root ball out with the excavator, haul it off and backfill the hole.

We take down houses, mobile homes, sheds, barns and small commercial buildings. The debris gets loaded out and hauled off, so the lot is clear when we leave.

We tear down old mobile homes and manufactured homes on site and haul every piece off. Porches, skirting, piers, the steel frame and the axles all go, and the lot is left clean and rough graded.

Excavation covers cuts and fills, soft or bad material dug out, and ditches and drainage swales. A Case excavator and a Kubota SVL75-3 skid steer do the work within 50 miles of Hammond.

We sell fill dirt and haul it to your property. Loads get dumped where you want them, spread out, and packed down so the ground holds.

We build new gravel driveways from the subgrade up, with base rock under the top rock. We also re-gravel and regrade older drives that have gone to potholes and soft spots.

We build gravel roads into acreage, hunting land, camps and job sites, with base rock under the surface rock. We also regrade and rebuild worn gravel roads that have gone to potholes, washboard, ruts or soft spots.

Land grading shapes your ground so water runs off it instead of standing on it. We handle yard leveling and lot grading within a 50 mile radius of Hammond.

We take a lot from raw ground to a pad you can build on. Fill placed and compacted in lifts, rough grade set, and access roughed in for the trucks.

We break out old driveways, slabs, patios, sidewalks and footings and haul the pieces off. The ground gets graded smooth or built back up with fill.
Learn MoreNobody prices your job from behind a desk. We walk the ground, check the access and where the water goes, and price the work from what we see.
Send us the address and tell us what needs doing. We come look at the ground, then give you a price for the job. The estimate costs nothing.
We run out to Baton Rouge, Covington, New Orleans, and up into southern Mississippi. If your property sits inside 50 miles of Hammond, we can get a machine there.
We work house lots and job sites for builders and businesses. A backyard that holds water and a commercial pad both get the same machine time and the same attention.
Call or text (985) 500-4145 and tell us what the ground looks like. Estimates are free anywhere inside 50 miles of Hammond.
Based in Hammond, we cover Tangipahoa, Livingston, St. Tammany, Ascension and East Baton Rouge parishes, the River Parishes, and the ground up into southern Mississippi.
From the first call or text to the finished ground, here is how it goes.
Reach us at (985) 500-4145. Tell us the address and what the ground needs. A photo or two helps us size the job.
We drive out and look the property over. We check how the machines get in and where the water goes, then size up what has to move.
You get a price for the work, with the scope spelled out. Take your time with it. The estimate is free either way.
Once you say go, we set a day that fits your build schedule and the weather. Wet ground can push a job, and we tell you when it does.
The crew runs the skid steer or the excavator and works the job through. Debris and extra dirt get hauled off as we go.
We smooth the ground to final grade and clean up behind us. Then we go over the finished job with you before the machines leave.
