What you are actually buying
What the work covers
What site prep actually covers
Stripping topsoil, cutting to grade, building the pad, digging footings and getting stone down so the next trade can start. On most jobs the difference between a slab that sits right and one that does not was decided before anybody poured anything.
Residential and commercial
House pads, shop and shed pads, additions, garages, and full commercial lots. The machines and the method change with the size of the cut, not with who is paying for it.
Getting the water right first
Ground that holds water ruins everything built on it. Where a pad needs drainage cut into it, that gets said at quote stage rather than discovered afterwards.

Site Prep Questions
Not seeing yours? Call or text (217) 710-0606 and ask Jon, or read the common questions.
How far will you travel?
Further than most people expect. Montgomery County is home, and we are in Springfield, Decatur, Effingham, Vandalia, Greenville, Carlinville and out into the Metro East as a matter of course. If your job sits past that, ring and ask — Jon would rather hear about it and tell you himself than have you rule it out.
Do you quote for free?
Yes. Every quote is free and Jon does them himself.
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.
Most jobs need more than one of these
Towns we are in most weeks
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.

Send the job over and Jon will come back to you himself. A photo of the ground and a rough idea of access gets you a straighter answer than a paragraph ever will.
