Dillion and his crew are great. I had a about 1/4 acre of overgrown trees and washed out driveway. He was able to clear the land and rebuild / build a new driveway for me. I would highly recommend to anyone needing work to be completed.

Had a terrible run off area in my backyard in Big Sandy. Fallen trees and basically a mud hole
Dillon and his crew came out and removed the trash and made the greatest pond and runoff area that is now very pleasing to look at and eventually sit around during the day. I would recommend his crew to anyone in need of this type service.

They were very professional and Dillan did a great job of communicating with me before, during and after the project to make sure all my goals were met.

I honestly can't remember the last time I paid someone to do a job and received more than I paid for. But that's what happened when we hired Dillan and Red to put in a 40' steel bridge over a 25-30 foot wide creek and clear the fence line on 11 acres that had been inaccessible for over 20 years. Before they got started, you couldn't walk 20 feet in any direction on that land without getting stopped by saplings and "wait a minute" vines. Now we take friends and family on golfcart tours of what we used to call "the jungle." I was so impressed by their taming of the jungle, we hired them to put in a gravel road (get the gravel from their OK source) and parking area for our house and barn. They did an absolutely incredible job on the whole project and I'm amazed at how they were able to control the water during the recent heavy rains. The road and parking area stayed high and dry. They even took some of the leftover rock and renovated a culvert/road crossing over a small feeder creek that had almost washed out. These guys know their business, have top-of-the-line equipment, and know how to do a job right. Just don't be surprised when you get more than you paid for.

I was in Texas for a week getting some clearing done on my property. I had Dillan's website bookmarked on my phone. I called him on a Friday. He was in Louisiana and told me that he could meet Sunday afternoon when he got back in town. We met at my property to discuss getting a driveway put in. We hit it off right away. We walked the area to figure out how to get up the hill to the top of the property. It was a fairly complicated driveway, 1600ft long and uphill. Dillan pointed out where culverts would be needed to redirect the water. He had a lot of great ideas. During the project, communication was great! He would bring up ideas and send me pictures. I gave him the green light to do whatever he thought was best. I couldn't be happier. The finished product is outstanding! Dillan is smart beyond his years. He is knowledgeable, polite, professional, and down to earth. He is very honest, and pays attention to details. We put together this deal on a handshake. He offered to write up a contract, but I knew it wasn't necessary. I knew that I could trust him, and I wasn't disappointed. Dillan earned my trust and business. I will have Dillan back in the future for more work when I start building. I highly recommend Frontier Land Works. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Best to all! Brad Tofthagen
This is a follow up to my first review. Dillan and I have been in touch weekly since we first met. He and his crew returned for clearing, burning, more driveway work, foundation pad for 2 homes, and a pond. They worked tirelessly for weeks. Great communication and long term friendships was a bonus. Everything was done to perfection, and way beyond my expectations. I can't say enough about how easy it is to work with Dillan and his crew. These guys are on the top of their game as operators, and due to that, I saved a lot of money by listening to their ideas. I can't recommend them enough. Brad Tofthagen

Professional, I’ll start with that. From the first call to completion. I wasn’t sure how to go about what I needed done with my property. I made several phone calls. From renting equipment myself to having someone clear it for me. Frontier Land Works did a great job. From the initial call, Dustin asked me what I needed. Explained to me clearly what they could do and generally how much that cost would be. Then we scheduled an onsite review of the job. As we walked the property he assured me they could handle it and quoted me the time and cost along with estimate completion dates if I chose to use their services. I felt very comfortable with his proposal. He also noticed I was doing some dirt work for a driveway on my own. As I explained to him what I was planning to do he started to give me some great pointers on how to do that job most effectively. I was so impressed with that I asked him to quote that job as well. I was sent an official quote electronically within 12 hours of our walk through. Itemized and specific to both jobs. No pressure what so ever. I elected to use Frontier Land Works for both jobs. They completed both jobs. On time. Since I live remote from the site they kept me informed of progress with pictures. I couldn’t believe the transformation of the property they cleared. And that driveway turned out better than I could have done on my own as well as essentially the same cost. I have shared this with my family and friends. This is a group you can count on. Excellent service. Highly recommend.
