Ag Tile Installation From Above

Ever wonder what a full ag tile installation looks like from the air? This aerial drone footage gives you an up-close look at the Gravel Grading & Excavating crew working a live ag tile job in Eastern Iowa — dozer, tractor, and mini excavator all running in tandem the way a tight install requires.

Ag tile work isn't a one-machine job. What you're seeing here is the result of years of experience, clear communication, and a crew that knows how to read a drainage plan and execute it in the field.

What goes into a quality ag tile install:

  • Precise grade work from the dozer to establish the correct slope for water movement

  • Trenching and tile placement done to plan — depth and spacing matter for long-term drainage performance

  • Backfill and finish work that protects the tile and gets the field back in production as fast as possible

  • Crew coordination — multiple machines working together without getting in each other's way takes experience and trust

Ag tile is one of our favorite jobs, and it shows. When the drainage is right, the field performs better, the topsoil stays where it belongs, and the farmer has one less thing to worry about come spring.

Based in Cascade, Iowa, Gravel Grading & Excavating installs ag tile across Dubuque, Delaware, Jones, Jackson, and Buchanan counties. If you're ready to tile your ground, give us a call.
