EARTHWORKS
​Earthworks and earthmoving are often seen as brutal, but they don’t have to be. Through intelligent design, thoughtful planning, and precision operation, David Spicer has mastered the art of the machine. With thousands of hours at the controls, David prioritizes the details that allow life to flourish.
His philosophy is simple: move as little earth as possible for the greatest impact. By carefully preserving and reapplying topsoil—our most vital asset—David finishes every project by sculpting the land to catch the rain and sustain the ecosystem
