Excavation & Site Work in Paris

Paris is the Edgar County seat — 30 miles east of Mattoon, the largest town between us and the Indiana border. Mix of residential, commercial, and rural work, plus Twin Lakes recreation properties.

Brohez Trucking LLC handles the full range of dirt and site work in Paris — rock driveways for rural homes and city lots, foundation excavation, pond cleanout, drainage, demolition, and land clearing. If it involves moving earth, we've done it in Edgar County.

Twin Lakes Park and rural acreage outside Paris keep us in this area regularly. Older homes needing foundation work, farm property demos, and lake-property excavation make up the bulk.

What a Teardown in Paris Costs Depends On

There's no honest flat price on a teardown — what it runs in Paris 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.

Local Crew, Real Equipment

Working Around Paris

Paris is the seat of Edgar County — about 8,000 people, sitting in northeast central Illinois near the Indiana line. We run IL-133 east through Charleston and Oakland, then north on IL-1 — about 45 miles, an hour with equipment in tow.

Sub-areas we cover too: Chrisman, Brocton, Vermilion, Kansas (the city), Oakland (in Coles County), and the rural pieces of Edgar County.

Common Paris jobs: Black-prairie ag work — drainage tile, grassed waterways, pond cleanouts, and farm-lane regrading; pole barn pads and rural shop foundations; foundation digs and basement excavation in town and on the rural acreages; and the occasional barn tear-down. Edgar County is some of the flattest and richest farmland in the state — drainage planning is half the job on most digs.

No travel surcharge. Paris jobs price the same as Mattoon jobs. The drive is part of our normal service area, not a premium add-on.

"We hired Brohez Trucking LLC to demo a detached garage and do some additional road work. Levi was friendly and professional. He quickly provided us with a quote and was able to start the work right away. We are very satisfied with the work they did, and their pricing is very fair."
