About Russell Liupakka
Liupakka Dirt Work was established in 2014 when Russell wanted a machine to clear brush on his deer-hunting land. Russ and his wife, Jill, purchased a Kubota Tractor, a trailer, a few implements, and Liupakka Dirt Work was in business.
The business grew to include not only brush removal work, but backhoe digging, stump removal, egress window well excavation, and drainage ditch/French drain construction. A back-blade and box scraper are used to tear out pesky potholes and then level out new class-five gravel for driveway repair and ground-leveling jobs.
Russell Liupakka was born and raised in Esko, Minnesota and grew up driving an Allis-Chalmers Model B on his hunting land. He has two sons, Zachary and Joshua, who are heads of the “equipment mobilization” department and assist on-site with larger jobs. Sons Zach and Josh, and daughter Grace, are the top-notch equipment cleaning crew when the equipment returns home after the dirt work is completed.
No job is too small. Most contractors want to move heavy equipment to a job site and work for a week. Russ specializes in the one- to three-day jobs and will even complete the half-day jobs with utmost efficiency. You will be able to have all of your dirt projects designed, engineered, and completed on time, with friendly communication and input from your local expert: Liupakka Dirt Work.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND Liupakka Dirt Work. Russ redid my driveway and it was an excellent experience. He worked with a guy to deliver the right kind of material. He showed up early to get his equipment unloaded so he was ready to work on time. I’d thought of a couple side jobs that needed doing and he took care of them, too, without adding any extra charge. In less than 2 hours, he had my driveway looking better than it did when it was new. He also took the time to explain to me exactly what he’d done and why. I never knew there was a science to putting new dirt on a driveway! All in all, I couldn’t have asked for better service.”

“Just needed to give a shout out to Russ Luipakka Dirt Work! He redid my gross, overgrown driveway and it looks better than ever! It’s refreshing to find an honest and polite contractor that isn’t out to deceive people. He is very proficient on his machine and can maneuver it into any nook and cranny! He was very timely in giving an estimate and did the job as stated. He even went over and above by helping me get a garden plot ready. He is very knowledgeable in driveway sloping and anything having to do with dirt. If you need dirt work done, call Russ. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Russ!!”
