What our Clients Say

“Initially, there were concerns the project would never materialize due to the volume of acreage and the number of landowners involved in the watershed.  DIGS was able to get the group to work collectively to complete the project.  DIGS provided the necessary oversight from start to finish.  I am now driving by farm and it is pretty amazing.  I don’t see a single pond on it and the neighbors who weren’t involved in the project have water standing.  I really like what I see.  What a difference tile makes!”

DAVE OPPERMAN, Land Owner/Farmer

“When I was contracted by DIGS regarding drainage project they had already met with all the interested parties, collected the data needed, designed the appropriate plan, and were ready to schedule installation. They made sure all materials were delivered to the job site and helped us with on-site project management. DIGS Associates is a great addition to the drainage water management industry.”

DRAINAGE CONTRACTOR, Hired Contractors

“DIGS has developed a new and innovative process for drainage projects. They have simplified things by removing much of the legwork for the contractor. Those necessary, but time-consuming tasks are completed by DIGS, so all I have to do is show up and start installation. Working with DIGS through this process is a welcome change to the way I’ve always operated.”

INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR, Hired Contractors

“We faced an uphill battle with a drainage project when we brought in DIGS. We had to cross a couple neighbors and a large drainage district to obtain an outlet. DIGS held meetings with everyone and designed such a system that would accommodate all parties. I am not sure how timely we would have been able to install our system if it weren’t for DIGS Associates. They made things happen during the fall season when we were in the field and we were able to tile directly after harvest. They really know how to obtain results for their client.”

RANDY WORKMAN, Shelby County, Illiniois – Grower / Tenant

“Drainage projects can be very complicated tasks especially when dealing with large watersheds that contain multiple landowners.  DIGS has developed a unique process which is expedient, reputable, and cost effective.  They have the experience and resources to handle all types of drainage issues, and they oversee the project from start to finish.  As a farm manager, I have found their process to be smooth, seamless and effective.”
