Earth Services

Earth Services is a family-owned civil construction contractor based in Anniston, Alabama, performing site preparation, earthwork, and heavy/civil engineering construction for projects across the southeastern United States. The firm handles work from the first stages of site development through final surfacing and site cleanup, which allows a single contractor to carry a job from clearing and grading through concrete, drainage, paving, and striping.

Early-phase work includes land clearing, excavation and earthmoving, demolition of buildings and structures, concrete breaking and cutting, site grading, importing and exporting of material, and specialized hauling. The company also develops and implements traffic control and erosion control plans, installs water control structures, and performs soil stabilization and remediation. Related site work covers dewatering, trenching, underground utility installation, septic systems, underground storage tank removal, embankment fortification, ditch cleaning, earth retention systems, and reservoir construction, including ponds, lakes, and retention basins. Flood control and drainage design-build solutions, storm drain and curb installation, and gravel, dirt, and asphalt road maintenance round out the drainage and grading side of the business.

Concrete and paving capabilities include foundation excavation, reinforcement, and installation, slab placement and finishing, sidewalks, curb and gutter, bollards, light pole bases, and decorative floor coloring. Paving work covers hot mix asphalt placement as well as concrete surfaces for driveways, roadways, and parking lots serving both residential and commercial properties, along with lot striping and the erection of parking and traffic signage. The company also handles land development, grassing and mulching, post-construction cleanup, park and forest service contracts, and outdoor facility construction such as athletic and game fields, equestrian facilities, military training areas, and park amenities. Equipment with operator is available on a rental basis.

Because of its range of in-house crews and equipment, Earth Services performs most scopes without subcontracting. When outsourcing is required, subcontractors are drawn from a prequalified list and vetted by staff who have direct experience in the trade being hired, including inspection of previously completed work.

The company reports 19 years of operation under the Earth Services name, backed by more than 30 years of construction experience by its owner, and describes itself as a small business supporting federal, state, and local government agencies alongside institutional and commercial construction clients. Staffing includes two project managers, two administrative specialists, and more than 20 on-call contract personnel such as CDL drivers, equipment operators, mechanics, and laborers, with established processes for filling positions as workload requires.

Credentials include general contractor licenses in Alabama (#45179) and Mississippi (#16057-MC). The owner and full-time employees hold OSHA 30 safety training, 40-hour HAZWOPER certification, RT-130 wildland firefighter training, emergency first aid and CPR certification, and range safety training for Fort McClellan and Pelham Range in Alabama; CDL drivers carry HazMat and tanker endorsements. The company reports more than ten years without a lost-time accident.

Documented project experience includes stream and site restoration work for the Natural Resources Conservation Service at Fort Benning, Georgia, soil stabilization at the Alabama Baptist Children's Home in Oxford, Alabama, and residential asphalt driveway paving in Ohatchee, Alabama. Estimates, project advice, and recommendations are typically provided at no charge.
