ABOUT US
Family Owned and Operated since 2021
Welcome to 815 Dirt! We're proud to be a leading provider of excavation services. I’m Mark Canfield, an experienced professional who grew up in the business. My dad, who was a self-employed carpenter, taught me the ins and outs of digging basements and grading work for buildings. As a lifelong farmer and former union operator, I have a deep understanding of the excavation industry. After working with non-union contractors for several years, 815 Dirt was born.
EXPERIENCE
OUR MISSION
My mission at 815 Dirt is to keep my customers satisfied by providing quality excavation and dirt work on time and on a budget. I strive to build long lasting relationships with my customers and to exceed their expectations.
ACCOUNTABILITY
With over 20 years of experience, I am committed to completing projects no matter how big or small.
We are a family-owned operation right here in northern Illinois. Today, our skilled team brings the same level of expertise and passion that my dad did to each and every project we work on.

Client Success Stories: Hear What Our Clients Say
Mark at 815 Dirt was extremely knowledgeable and the results were beyond expectations. He helped clear some severely overgrown trees & brush on my family’s hunting land near Oregon, Illinois. He had a no nonsense work ethic and was very efficient. His crew was on the same page as him.

Mark is a hard working guy with a great deal of knowledge in this line of work. He’s not the type of guy to take shortcuts on a project. He’s also respectful as well as safety conscious. I highly recommend him for your project needs!
