Machine and operator

Excavator, dozer, skid steer, wheel loader and the truck — with somebody on the controls who has run that machine on that kind of ground before.

The right machine for the ground

A skid steer gets into places an excavator cannot and is the wrong tool for a deep cut. Part of quoting a job is working out which machine belongs on it.

Jobs other people have started

Plenty of calls are somebody halfway through a project who has run out of machine. That is a normal call to make and it does not need explaining away.

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.

How it goes

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.
