Pond work around Newton means reading the ground first. Jasper County runs sandier toward the Embarras than the clay ground west of us, and sand under a basin is the difference between a pond that holds and one that never fills — a factor in what a pond costs. Ponds already built on that ground usually need the bottom and dam keyed back into clay: farm pond repair.
In Newton, that demolition includes barn demolition, grain bin removal, and concrete & foundation removal — torn down, hauled off, and the site graded clean. See all demolition services.
There's no honest flat price on a teardown — what it runs in Newton comes down to size and construction, whether the foundation or slab comes out, asbestos on the older buildings, how tight the access is, and how far the debris has to haul. We read all of that at a free on-site walk and hand you a straight number.
Brohez Trucking is a demolition contractor in Newton, IL and across Jasper County. We take down farm buildings, barns, grain bins, garages, mobile homes, and houses through Newton and the Embarras River farm ground, and out toward the Newton Lake recreation properties. Acreage and lake-area sites usually mean a long lane — we check that the loaded trucks can actually get in and out before we quote.
See barn demolition, grain bin removal, house demolition, or the whole demolition services list. Call (217) 809-0779 and we'll come walk the property free.
Newton is the seat of Jasper County — about 2,800 people, on the Embarras River in southeast central Illinois. It's the southern edge of our regular service area, about 50 miles south of Mattoon by IL-130. We come for the right job; the drive is built into the estimate.
Sub-areas we cover too: Sainte Marie, Willow Hill, Wheeler, West Liberty, and the rural pieces of Jasper County. Some of our Newton trips also pull us into north Richland County.
Common Newton jobs: Embarras riverbottom drainage and pond work (the river runs straight through the county and the bottoms hold water year-round), ag drainage tile and grassed waterway work, rural farm-lane regrading, foundation digs on the rural acreages, and pond cleanouts on the farm ponds across Jasper County. This is older oil-country too — wells and abandoned pads are a hazard to know about before any big dig.
No travel surcharge. Newton jobs price the same as Mattoon jobs. The drive is part of our normal service area, not a premium add-on.
