We sling mud, level land, and chew through tree stumps like a goat on espresso. Whether you’re renting our machines to DIY your dream project or calling us in to handle the dirty work, we show up with the gear, the grit, and just enough charm to keep your grandma from calling the cops.
We’re a small but mighty crew of gearheads, operators, and backroad business brains based in Spencer, Tennessee. Our operation started with a single skid steer, a couple of stubborn friends, and the shared belief that getting sh*t done shouldn’t cost a fortune or require five forms of ID and your cousin’s blood type.
We believe in honest work, fair prices, and having the right tool for the job (or knowing a guy who does). Around here, you’re not just another invoice—you’re our neighbor, our cousin’s cousin, or at least someone we’re willing to high-five after a hard day’s work.
We offer operator services, rent you our equipment, and take on projects that most folks either can’t do, don’t want to, or would rather not throw their back out trying. From the small-but-mighty weekend projects to the big ol’ jobs that’ve been sitting on your to-do list since 2019—we’re the ones who bring the tools, the know-how, and the slightly-inappropriate jokes to get it done.
We also handle land reshaping, trenching, ditch repair, post-storm cleanup, and turning that swampy mess behind your house into something a little less “mosquito utopia.” Got a weird project that doesn’t quite fit in a box? We like those best.
And if for some reason it’s not in our wheelhouse – don’t worry, we probably know a guy (or a gal) who owes us a favor and knows exactly how to handle it.
