About Us
Earthwerks Land Improvement & Development Corporation is a licensed, professional general contractor specializing in natural infrastructure, wetland improvement, and stormwater mitigation throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Florida. With over 40 years of field experience, Earthwerks brings not only technical expertise but a deeply rooted commitment to community partnerships.
In collaboration with Control Point Engineering, Earthwerks offers a seamless design-build approach that improves on the traditional, fragmented public project lifecycle. By combining conceptual design, permitting, and construction under one coordinated team, we help municipalities avoid the inefficiencies of low-bid contracts and disjointed project handoffs. The result is faster timelines, fewer complications, and higher quality, community-centered outcomes.
But what truly sets Earthwerks apart is the trust it has earned over decades of working shoulder-to-shoulder with municipal leaders and staff. Under the leadership of Dan Davies, the Earthwerks team is known not just for delivering award-winning projects — but for listening first, solving creatively, and showing up as a reliable partner long after construction is complete. Cities across the region don’t just hire Earthwerks — they call us when they need guidance, innovation, or someone who understands the landscape in more ways than one.
Whether advising on early-stage concepts, securing permits, or delivering shovel-ready solutions, Earthwerks is a collaborative force helping municipalities build resilient, environmentally sound infrastructure — with integrity, every step of the way.
