About DSM Dirt Worx
Our Story
Founded in 2020, DSM Dirt Worx started with one excavator, a strong work ethic, and a job-done-right mindset. What began as a small operation has grown into one of Des Moines’ most trusted excavation contractors, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Iowa.
DSM Dirt Worx is proudly veteran-owned and operated. Our founder brings over 20 years of heavy equipment experience and the same principles learned through military service—discipline, accountability, attention to detail, and respect for the mission. Those values shape how we run our jobs, treat our customers, and look out for our crew.
Today, we run a modern fleet of excavation equipment and employ skilled operators who take pride in their work. From residential trenching to full commercial site prep, every project gets the same level of effort, precision, and professionalism—no shortcuts, no excuses. We show up, work hard, and get the job done right.
