Tell you the permit answer first
Finding out mid-job that the site needed a soil erosion permit is the expensive way to learn it. We check before the quote.
The short version
You'll deal with Derek, start to finish
Woods Land Services LLC is owner-operated. Derek Arwood quotes the job, runs the equipment, and answers the phone. That's not a marketing line — it's the whole operating model. When something underground turns out different than expected, the person telling you about it is the person who found it.
The service area is deliberately small. St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, Stevensville, Bridgman, Coloma, and the townships between them. Staying local means knowing the soil, knowing which permit office to call, and being twenty minutes away when something needs another look.
What we bring to a site
- Owner on site — the person who quotes the job runs the machine
- Equipment sized for residential lots, not just open acreage
- A service area small enough to come back out the same week
- Straight answers about what a site needs before the work starts
- Sites left graded, stabilized, and cleaned up
How we'd rather work
Quote after seeing it
Soil, water table, slope, and access decide the price on earthwork. None of that is visible over the phone.
Leave the site right
Graded so water runs away from the house, stabilized so the next rain doesn't undo it, and cleaned up.
