Real Land Works Projects Across the Troy, IL Area
Our project portfolio reflects the day-to-day operations of KD Land Works across Madison County and St. Clair County, Illinois. As a local, owner-operated land management and site preparation contractor based in Troy, we work directly with rural homeowners, commercial builders, agricultural operators, and property developers. Every photo and transformation displayed above represents real site conditions tackled with heavy-duty equipment including track skid steers, high-flow brush cutters, hydraulic rock grapples, grading buckets, and Harley power rakes.
Whether you are preparing a raw wooded parcel for new residential construction, reclaiming an overgrown agricultural field choked with locust and honeysuckle, or fixing drainage and washout ruts along a thousand-foot gravel driveway, our job site workflows prioritize safety, clean finishes, and long-term soil stability.
Residential & Commercial Lot Clearing
We clear overgrown brush, thorny undergrowth, saplings, and small trees up to 8 inches in diameter. Our track machines clear fence lines, boundary perimeters, survey corridors, utility easements, and building envelopes without tearing up healthy mature hardwoods or disrupting surrounding ground structure.
- Underbrush and briar elimination
- Small tree, stump flush-cutting & root grapple cleanup
- Building pad perimeter clearing and easement widening
- Hunting lane, ATV trail, and perimeter fence access
Brush Hogging & Pasture Reclamation
Field mowing and rotary brush cutting for thick prairie grass, woody stalks, briar patches, and invasive species that bog down standard farm mowers. We convert neglected pastures into clean, maintainable ground for livestock, planting, or recreational use.
- Heavy brush cutting up to 3-4 inch stems
- Overgrown agricultural field and pasture restoration
- Retention basin and pond dam mowing
- Right-of-way and firebreak maintenance
Gravel Driveway Grading & Dirt Work
Potholes, standing water, and washboard ruts compromise rural access. We re-crown driveways, distribute fresh crushed stone or gravel, rip compacted subgrades, clear roadside drainage ditches, and finish grade using precision Harley rakes for a smooth driving surface.
- Driveway resurfacing, pothole leveling, and crown restoration
- Shed, pole barn, and garage pad subgrade prep
- Harley power raking for seedbed and sod preparation
- Culvert installation prep and drainage ditch cleanouts
Pond Shoreline & Winter Commercial Snow Services
Water retention ponds and shorelines quickly succumb to willow saplings, cattails, and dense brush. We restore clear water sightlines and shoreline access. During winter storms, we deploy commercial trucks and skid plows for parking lots, access routes, and salting.
- Pond bank and dock approach brush clearing
- Commercial parking lot snow plowing and de-icing
- Emergency winter storm property access
- Bulk rock salt and calcium chloride application
