About Valley Earthworks
Valley Earthworks in Belview, MN has been a family ran business since 1956. Dani and Erik Stonestrom are the third generation of families to run this Minnesota-based dirt work company. We're here to help with any of your land improvement, drainage, excavation, aggregate or trucking needs.
Our focus at Valley Earthworks is to be on the leading edge of technology with our processes and equipment. We know not all operations are the same size, but each project is equally important to our customers. Communicating with our clients is a top priority. We take great pride in being a leader in the dirt work industry and love every minute of it!
Valley Earthworks is qualified by over 65 years of business resulting in thousands of satisfied customers. We provide drainage solutions for landowners to allow their fields to produce a higher yielding product. Our experienced team can create the initial excavation of new homes, buildings, and other facilities and the final grade finish work. To top it off, we provide a resource for a diverse catalogue of aggregate products, as well as a source of trucking for those products.
