Bulldozing in Central Illinois

When the work needs a blade — for pushing dirt, leveling ground, shaping banks, or pulling a building pad to grade — the dozer is the tool. Brohez Trucking LLC runs a Caterpillar D6N for that work across central Illinois.

Bulldozers and excavators do different jobs. An excavator digs and lifts. A dozer pushes. When you've got piles to spread, ground to level, brush to push into burn piles, or a pad to grade flat across hundreds of feet, the dozer moves more material faster than anything else on a job site.

We bring the D6N out for building pads, finish grading after excavation, push-and-pile land clearing, pond bank shaping, levee and berm work, and any time the volume of dirt-pushing makes a track loader the wrong tool.

🚜 The Equipment — Cat D6N

A Caterpillar D6N — roughly 20-ton class, hydrostatic transmission, wide blade. Big enough to push serious dirt on building pads and pond work, but trailerable so we can run it on jobs anywhere in our 60-mile service area. More on the fleet at /equipment/.

If you're not sure whether your job needs a dozer, an excavator, a skid steer, or some combination — call. We run all of them. The whole job goes one crew, one set of estimates, no finger-pointing between subs.

Our Bulldozing Process

Most dozer jobs follow the same shape, scaled to the project.

STEP 01

Walk & Estimate

We come out, walk the ground, talk through what you want done, and write a straight number. Free. No pressure.

STEP 02

Stake The Grade

For pad work and finish grading, we set grade stakes or use existing reference points so the finished surface matches what you need.

STEP 03

Strip & Cut

Strip topsoil where it shouldn't end up under the slab, cut high spots down, and start moving material toward the design grade.

STEP 04

Push & Place

Push the cut material to fill, brush to burn piles, or spoils to a stockpile — depending on the job. The blade does the heavy lifting.

STEP 05

Compact & Finish

For pads, fill goes in lifts and gets compacted. For grading and finish work, we blade smooth and check grade before we leave.

STEP 06

Walk The Job

We walk the finished work with you. If something isn't right, we fix it before we leave.

Built For Real Dirt Work

From a single building pad to multi-acre grading and shaping.

Building Pads

Pole barn pads, garage and shop pads, residential foundations, and commercial slab prep. Stripped, cut, compacted, ready for the slab crew. See site prep.

Land Grading

Lots leveled, low spots filled, high spots cut. Yard regrading after construction or for drainage. New driveway grades. Pasture smoothing.

Push & Pile Clearing

Brush, small trees, and stumps pushed into burn or haul piles. Pairs with the excavator and skid steer for full land clearing.

Pond Banks & Dams

Bank shaping, dam construction, dam repair, levee work, retention basin grading, and pond surround finish work. Pairs with pond construction and dredging.

Finish Grading

After the excavation crew is gone — yards smoothed, contractor ruts filled, ground feathered to match adjacent grade. The cleanup pass that turns a dirt site into a finished property.

Spoils Management

On big excavation and demo jobs — pushing spoils to stockpile, spreading fill on grade, keeping the work area clean.

Driveway & Lane Regrading

Long farm lanes, country driveways, and field roads regraded. Crowned for drainage, low spots filled, ready for fresh rock. Pairs with our rock driveway work.

Stockpile & Yard Work

Material yards reorganized, spoils piles consolidated, gravel and dirt stockpiles built and reshaped on contractor and farm sites.

Erosion Control & Berms

Berms, swales, terraces, and water-and-sediment-control basin work. Same dozer work we do for grassed waterways and NRCS cost-share jobs.
