What we get called out for
Driveways that have gone soft, yards that hold water, pads for a new shop or shed, brush and fence lines that have got away from somebody, trenching for a service run, and hauling rock or dirt in and spoil out.
Jon quotes every job himself. The same crew and the same machines do the clearing, the dirt work and the hauling, so there is no second contractor to line up.

See the workLots and building sites
Around Collinsville most clearing comes ahead of a build. A lot that has sat for years. A back acre being opened up for a shop or a pole barn. A timbered edge that has crept toward the house. The growth comes off and the ground is left ready for site prep or grading.
What happens to the brush
Brush and small timber come down and the root balls come out. The material is burned on site where that is allowed and sensible, or loaded and hauled off. Which one it is gets agreed before the work starts, because it changes the price.
Before Jon comes out
Know roughly where your property lines are. Flag any trees you want kept. Point out septic tanks, wells or buried lines. Illinois law requires a call to JULIE before digging so utilities get marked. More on the land clearing and brush removal page.

Can you give a price over the phone?
Sometimes, for straightforward work where a photo tells the whole story. Anything involving a cut, drainage or access we would rather look at, because a number given blind helps nobody.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. Being based in Hillsboro rather than an hour away is what makes small jobs worth doing at all.
Do you haul material as well as move it?
Yes — rock, mulch, sand and dirt delivered, and spoil, concrete and brush hauled off.
What do you do with the spoil?
Graded back on site or hauled away, whichever was agreed at quote stage. It gets decided before the work starts, not after.

Four steps, no surprises
Tell us the job
Call, text or send the form. A photograph of the ground and the way in tells us more than a description does — width of the gate, where the truck can sit, what is in the way.
Jon prices it himself
Jon quotes every job on this site. You are not talking to a call centre and you are not getting a number from someone who has not looked at the ground.
The machines turn up
Excavator, dozer, skid steer or the truck — whatever the job actually needs, with an operator who has run it before.
It gets left clean
Spoil hauled off or graded back, whichever was agreed. The job is not done while there is a pile sat in your yard.
