Dream Dirt Services
Land Consulting
We start every project with a comprehensive Land Management plan. Using both "boots on the ground" inspections and digital mapping, we survey your property to identify areas that would benefit from habitat improvements—such as bedding, burn units, screening, or native grass and tree plantings. You will receive a detailed map outlining recommendations, along with a step-by-step guide on the methods used to achieve them. Additionally, we assist landowners across Indiana and Ohio in identifying and enrolling in grant programs that can help subsidize the cost of these wildlife projects.
Native Grass / CRP Management
We specialize in managing prairie ecosystems through the use of prescribed fire. This method promotes soil health and native plant diversity while reducing invasive species, creating excellent bugging and brooding habitat for wild turkeys and other birds. For properties in Illinois and Kentucky where fire may not be the only solution, we also manage landscapes using mowing, disking, and spraying to ensure your native grasses thrive.
Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching is the most effective method for Land Clearing Services, offering a precise alternative to traditional bulldozing. Unlike heavy excavation, mulching leaves the soil structure and seed bank intact, eliminating the cost of hauling debris or repairing collateral damage. We use this method for clearing access trails, reclaiming overgrown pastures, managing gas/power right-of-ways, and storm cleanup. It is the ideal solution for residential or lake properties where preserving aesthetics is a priority.
Excavation
We offer professional Excavation Services to handle the heavy lifting required for major property transformations. Specializing in Pond Construction and clean-up, we help landowners create reliable water sources for wildlife and livestock. Our team also performs stump removal, cuts in durable access trails, and manages general dirt work for building sites across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. From digging new water features to reshaping terrain, we ensure the job is done with precision and minimal disturbance to the surrounding landscape.
Herbicide Application
We are licensed applicators for both agricultural and forestry settings, serving clients throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Our chemical management services include pre- and post-emergent applications for farm fields, weed control in food plots, and targeted invasive species removal. We also utilize precise forestry methods—such as girdle-and-spray or stump treatments—to manage timber stands without damaging desirable vegetation.
Timber Stand Improvement
TSI is essential for maximizing forest health and wildlife value. We use a variety of methods—including tree felling, hinge cutting, girdling, and prescribed fire—to eliminate unwanted species and release crop trees. Whether the goal is improving bedding habitat, feathering edges, or overall forest regeneration, our team executes these improvements to align with your long-term timber goals.
Custom Farming / Food Plots
Whether your land requires conventional tillage or no-till options, we have the expertise to establish high-quality Wildlife Food Plots. We provide comprehensive soil testing, nutrient advice, and yearly seed recommendations to identify the best food sources for your specific farm. From corn, beans, and cereal grains to brassicas and perennials like clover or chicory, we help you create a reliable food source to support your wildlife year-round.
