Slab cracking because the subgrade settled? Driveway pooling water at the apron? Lot edges pumping mud through joints? Bad concrete starts with bad excavation. We self-perform site grading, drainage, and base prep on our own pours — Standard Proctor compaction, #53 stone base, geo-fabric where soils demand it. ROW Excavation Permits handled.
Most concrete contractors sub their excavation to whoever's cheap and available that week. Then when the slab cracks 18 months later, the concrete guy blames the excavator and the excavator is already on another job. We've ended that finger-pointing by running our own dirt crew — our pour foreman walks the subgrade with our excavator foreman, and the spec is the spec across both phases.
Madison County soils run heavy clay across most of Anderson and Pendleton, with pockets of organic topsoil that will pump under load if you don't strip them. Hamilton County (Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield) has more glacial till and better natural bearing — but new construction sites are usually cut-and-fill, which means anything could be under the slab. We test, we strip, we replace with engineered fill, and we compact in 6-inch lifts to Standard Proctor density.
Every service below is a dedicated entity page with its own technical spec, permit notes, and service-area localization.
Site preparation done right - strip organics, replace soft spots, place and compact #53 stone in lifts to Standard Proctor density. Laser-checked final grade.
Driveway culverts excavated, bedded, and sized to county drainage flow. Anderson and Pendleton ROW Excavation Permit handled end-to-end.
Clearing for new concrete and landscape work - strip sod and topsoil, remove old hardscape, grub roots, rough-grade to subgrade. Clean pad ready for forms.
Isolated vibration-damping foundations for CNC machines, stamping presses, and heavy industrial equipment. Saw-cut existing floors; pour deep reinforced pads.
ROW Excavation Permits required for any work in the public right-of-way. Rural drives often need culverts sized to county drainage flow — we coordinate with the County Surveyor's office on sizing.
I-69 corridor expansion has changed drainage flow on many county roads. We re-survey ditch depths and culvert sizing on every rural-drive job.
Hamilton County activity permits, Consent to Encroach agreements (Carmel), WeConnect portal (Westfield). HOA approval coordinated separately. We run point on all of it.
Our compaction and base specs follow the INDOT Standard Specifications for Construction (Section 207) and ASTM D698 Standard Proctor methods.
