What Premier Earthworks does

Premier Earthworks is a privately held earthwork and excavation services contractor founded in 2009 and headquartered in Morris, Oklahoma. The company delivers four integrated service lines—excavation (site layout, topsoil stripping, bulk excavation, trenching, backfill, erosion control, spoil management, and final grading), commercial site preparation (demolition, earthworks, grading, utility installation, erosion control, access control, foundation prep, and environmental compliance), utilities installation (water, sewer, storm drainage, and communications), and pad construction (clearing, grading, compaction, moisture conditioning to geotechnical specifications)—to residential and commercial customers across Oklahoma and Texas. Field execution relies on heavy construction equipment and skilled in-house crews operating at customer sites; there is no proprietary software, automation platform, or digital product layer supporting the service offering.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer, project-based revenue model in which Premier Earthworks earns fees from one-time, quote-based contracts rather than recurring agreements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope, scale, and site conditions. Customer acquisition runs through the company website, phone inquiries, and on-site consultations, with all services delivered directly via company-owned equipment and crews—no intermediary channels, partner resellers, or recurring SaaS-style mechanics are involved. The company reports an Experience Modification Rate of 0.90, indicating a better-than-average safety record relative to industry benchmarks, which supports prequalification with safety-conscious general contractors.

Leadership comprises President Dr. Kelly Bailey and Vice President Tyler Pattillo, supported by a Director of Operations, Manager of Human Resources, Sr. Manager of Estimation & Field Analytics, Senior Project Manager, Manager of Marketing & Communications, and General Superintendent. The workforce totals approximately 50 employees. Premier Earthworks is privately held with no identified external investment, parent company, or public listing; the company website references an affiliated entity, Cooper Resources, LLC, though the structural relationship is not further documented in available materials.
