KEEP RURAL PROPERTY
FUNCTIONAL AND LASTING

Straightforward service with proper drainage techniques throughout Rice County

Back 40 Dirt and Timber handles forestry mulching, gravel driveway repair, brush mowing, and CRP management across Rice County with an emphasis on getting the work done right. Rural land demands practical attention, especially when drainage and compliance matter. Each project reflects a no-nonsense approach to land care that prioritizes function over flash.

You can expect work that's planned with your property's layout and long-term needs in mind. Grading is done to support proper water flow, and clearing is completed to set up land for ongoing use. The goal is to leave things safer and less stressful to manage, without shortcuts that create problems down the road.

Back 40 Dirt and Timber operates with full insurance and offers free estimates so you understand scope and cost before any equipment rolls. The focus stays on cost-effective solutions that hold up through seasons and changing conditions.

Reach out for a free estimate and a straightforward conversation about what your land needs.

HOW LAND SERVICES UNFOLDS

Every job starts with understanding what's needed and what the property can handle. You'll know what's being done, why it's being done that way, and what to expect once the work wraps. Coordination happens at each stage so timing, access, and equipment use fit your schedule and your land's conditions.

Proper grading and drainage solutions aren't guesswork—they're planned to address Minnesota's wet springs and variable weather patterns. The work is documented, the approach is predictable, and adjustments are made when terrain or conditions call for it.

Here's what you gain when the process is handled with consistency:

  • Erosion control that protects soil and keeps water moving where it should
  • Gravel driveways graded to reduce rutting and extend surface life
  • CRP compliance managed without burning, using methods that meet program requirements
  • Drainage smoothing designed for Rice County soil types and seasonal water movement

Request your free estimate and walk through the plan together before work begins.

DEPENDABLE RURAL WORK ETHIC

Back 40 Dirt and Timber is locally operated and rooted in the service area around New Market, where land challenges are familiar and solutions are practical. The work reflects someone who values simplicity, accountability, and leaving a property in better shape than it was found.

You're working with a business that's fully insured and focused on long-term results rather than quick fixes. Equipment is maintained, timelines are realistic, and every project is treated with the same attention to detail whether it's a driveway repair or a full forestry mulching job.

Set up a consultation to discuss your property and get clear answers about what's possible.
