Hello! I’m Levi Otts, the owner of Hickory Hill Dirtworks, LLC.

I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2018, and have always had a passion for all things outdoors. These two pursuits have led me to combine my interests into a dirtwork business.

In 2023, after restoring a 1973 John Deere 450B crawler loader, I decided to start putting it to work. I established the name Hickory Hill Dirtworks, and a few gracious customers gave me the chance to get my feet wet in the dirtwork business. I built a shop pad, cut in two driveways, cleared approximately 15 acres, and reworked a property’s water management. Later that year, I added a semi-truck and heavy trailer to the fleet.

In early 2024, I established an LLC. That summer proved to be a busy one! More land was cleared, more driveways were cut, more house and shop pads were built, and more fields were reworked for water management.

In early 2025, a 1988 Case 880D excavator was acquired, which proved itself as an extremely valuable asset in expanding capabilities. Approximately 150 yds of an overgrown creek was renovated, two ponds were renovated and expanded, a creek bed and other water management features were integrated into a hay field, more land was cleared, more driveways were built, and more pads, and more driveways, and more pads, and more driveways.

The growth of business has been exciting to say the least. This hasn’t happened without the opportunities presented by the good people I’ve helped, so a huge thank you to all of those who I’ve been fortunate enough to help.

To those I have not yet had the opportunity to meet - I look forward to visiting with you about your project!
