In 1991 a partnership was formed by Gil Ogles, Ed Gorman, and Mike Woffard, thus beginning GEM Dirt Sales. The company started with 20 acres of dirt along the Polecat Creek basin. With three employees, one dump truck, one dozer and a phone on the fence, GEM Dirt Sales rapidly grew over the next three years. The partnership ended when Gil and Mike took other jobs and Ed Gorman became sole owner. Eventually an excavator and small office building were added in 1996 and two more staff.

GEM Dirt Sales continued to grow providing the best Sandy Loam dirt in the area. With the addition in 2000 of a screener/shredder, the dirt was sifted and cleaned to become "Tulsa's Best Topsoil". Area landscapers and homeowners are allowed to dump leaves and grass clippings free each fall. After the leaves compost, they are mixed with the dirt to provide a one-of-a-kind product for the Tulsa metro area. Additional land was purchased over time to bring the total to 60 acres.

In the spring of 2005, GEM Dirt Sales became GEM Dirt, LLC. With the new name came a new office building and more staff and equipment. We are proud to be a family owned small business and hope to continue serving our customers for years to come.
