Avalanche Dirt Work & Santa Rosa Design: Expert Land Services and Custom Handcrafted Creations in Santa Barbara County

At Avalanche Dirt Work and Santa Rosa Design, every project starts with a simple principle: do work that is real, lasting, and meaningful. Bruce, the founder of both businesses, has spent his life turning curiosity and creativity into tangible results. Whether it’s clearing land to make it safer and more usable, or transforming materials into one of a kind pieces of art.

Avalanche Dirt Work: Caring for the Land and Community

Bruce has always loved being outdoors, operating equipment, and seeing the immediate results of his work. That passion led him to start Avalanche Dirt Work, a company dedicated to land clearing, fire mitigation, and land conservation across Santa Barbara County. Bruce helps landowners create safer, more functional spaces while protecting the surrounding environment. For Bruce, it’s more than clearing land, it’s about making a lasting difference. Each project improves not just a single property, but the safety, health, and usability of the land for the broader community.

Santa Rosa Design: Crafting Art with Purpose

While Avalanche Dirt Work satisfies Bruce’s love of outdoor, hands on labor, Santa Rosa Design taps into his creative side. What began with old horse shoes, reclaimed wood, and scraps of metal has grown into a passion project that blends artistry and practicality. From handcrafted charcuterie boards and kitchen accents to large scale statement pieces like hilltop swings and custom bars, Bruce works across multiple mediums to bring his creations to fruition. Every piece is thoughtfully designed, combining function with beauty, and reflecting the same dedication and care that defines his dirt work projects.

The Man in The Machine and Workshop

Bruce’s fascination with building started as a child, lining up Tonka trucks and imagining himself operating real machinery. That curiosity evolved into a career grounded in grit, skill, and creativity. Whether he’s crafting a custom piece of furniture or clearing a hillside to make it safe, Bruce approaches every project with the same hands on ethic and attention to detail. At the end of the day, it’s all about creating something meaningful. Whether it’s land that’s safer and more functional, or a handcrafted piece that tells a story. For Bruce, there’s nothing better than seeing ideas come to life and knowing that his work brings value to others.
