Cultivating Strong Foundations for Farmers, Ranchers & Landowners

At We Can Dig It Earthwork Solutions, we understand that agriculture isn’t just a business — it’s the land itself. Our Agriculture & Land Management services are built to help farms, ranches, and rural properties operate more efficiently, reduce risk, and improve productivity. Whether you need better drainage for fields, pond restoration, pastures cleared, or land prepared for livestock, we bring the heavy equipment expertise and local knowledge to make it happen.

Our Agriculture & Land Management Capabilities

Here are the core services we offer for rural/agricultural landowners:

  • Pasture & Field Grading and Leveling — Reshaping land to promote proper water runoff, prevent ponding, reduce erosion, and improve field usability.

  • Irrigation & Drainage Ditches — Excavating or cleaning out ditches, installing or repairing irrigation channels, ensuring water flows efficiently across your property.

  • Pond Development & Maintenance — Building new water storage ponds, repairing pond embankments, dredging silt, shaping ponds for better water quality.

  • Fence Line & Brush Clearing — Removing unwanted vegetation, trees, shrubs along fence lines or across fields to make maintenance easier, reduce fire risk, and improve grazing accessibility.

  • Soil & Erosion Control — Implementing slope stabilization, erosion prevention measures, installing water bars, retaining swales, or using riprap / rock where needed.

  • Access Roads & Farm Lanes — Building or improving roads and lanes within your property so equipment, livestock, or supply trucks can move safely and reliably.

  • Water Flow Management — Installing culverts, small crossings, or drainage structures so that rainwater doesn’t damage fields or roads.

Why Work With Us

  • Deep Local Knowledge
    With roots in Southeast Texas & Southwest Louisiana, we know the soil types, rainfall patterns, flood-risks, and vegetation challenges. That means more accurate grading, better drainage outcomes, fewer surprises.

  • Heavy Machinery & Skilled Crews
    We own and operate the right equipment for large scale land work — graders, excavators, dozers, etc. — plus the experience to run them with precision and safety.

  • Cost-Effective & Durable Solutions
    Investing in proper drainage, pasture grading, pond upkeep, and erosion control now saves money long run — less flooding damage, less maintenance, better productivity.

  • Compliant with Environmental Best Practices
    We understand permitting, environmental protection, and regulations that matter: avoiding damage to wetlands, protecting water quality, minimizing soil loss.

  • Flexible Scheduling & Service Area
    Available for recurring maintenance work (e.g. pond upkeep, ditch cleaning) or one-time land prep. Based in Orange, TX, serving surrounding areas (Beaumont, Vidor, Port Arthur, etc.) and willing to travel for larger agricultural contracts.

How We Work: Our Process

  • 1. Site Visit & Assessment: We inspect your land: topography, soil condition, existing drainage, vegetation, and take note of what affects your fields, ponds, or fencing.

  • 2. Plan & Scope Definition: Together we define priorities (drainage, roads, pond repair, brush removal), budget, permit needs, timeline.

  • 3. Preparation: Clearing vegetation, marking key zones, defining field boundaries, preparing access, moving obstacles.

  • 4. Earthwork Execution: Grading / leveling / shaping fields, installing or restoring ditches, pond work, installing culverts, building roads.

  • 5. Finishing & Maintenance: Final grading, compaction, erosion protection, reseeding if needed, clean-up, guidance for ongoing land upkeep.

Case Examples (by Use Case)

  • Restored pasture drainage in a low-lying field that was waterlogged after every rain.

  • Cleared fence lines and created access roads across rough terrain so machinery and stock can move safely.

  • Built and refurbished farm ponds for livestock water supply, including dredging sediment and regrading pond banks.

  • Installed cross-drain culverts under farm lanes to prevent washouts.

Service Area

We serve agricultural and rural clients throughout Orange, Texas, Beaumont, Vidor, Port Arthur, Bridge City, and neighboring counties. For larger farms or ranches, we’re open to projects beyond that area with planning.

FAQ – Agriculture & Land Work

Do you handle permits or environmental compliance for ponds or water bodies?
Yes. We understand when permit requirements apply (depending on size, wetlands, etc.) and help you ensure compliance.

How often should pasture grading or drainage work be done?
Depends on rainfall, soil erosion, pasture usage, and condition of existing drainage. Some properties benefit from annual maintenance; others respond well to bigger reset work every few years.

Can you work during wet seasons without damaging soil structure?
We plan around weather where possible. Heavy equipment in wet soils can cause compaction, so timing, proper scheduling, and protective measures are used.

How long will field leveling or pond repair take?
Varies by project scale, soil, access, amount of vegetation or sediment to move. After assessing, we give you a timeline estimate with milestones.
