📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateParis 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.

Pond digs around Paris come off the rolling Edgar County prairie where a draw and good clay usually line up. Depth, dam height, and where the spoil goes drive the bill far more than surface acres — what drives the cost of a pond spells that out. And when a pond that held for thirty years suddenly won't, it's almost always the dam or the outlet: we fix a leaking pond at the cause.
In Paris, that demolition includes barn demolition, grain bin removal, garage & shed teardown, 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 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.

Brohez Trucking is a demolition contractor in Paris, IL and Edgar County. Houses, detached garages, commercial buildings, barns, grain bins, and outbuildings come down across Paris, the surrounding farm ground, and the Twin Lakes properties. Paris has enough older in-town housing stock that vacant-house teardowns are steady work — we handle the utility disconnects and leave a clean, gradable lot.

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.
