35 miles west of Mattoon — Lake Shelbyville country. Excavation, rock driveways, pond work, and demolition across Shelby County.
📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateShelbyville sits at the south end of Lake Shelbyville — about 35 miles west of our Mattoon shop. Lake-property work and rural farm jobs are the bread and butter on this side of our service area.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles excavation, rock driveways, pond cleanouts, demolition, land clearing, hauling, and culvert work in Shelbyville and Shelby County. Lake Shelbyville cabin owners — sloped sites, tree access, and tight rural lots are exactly the work we do.
Pond cleanouts and rock driveways are especially common in this area. Lake-effect rains are hard on driveways and ponds silt up faster than people expect.

Lake Shelbyville puts a lot of water work in front of us in Shelby County. New farm and recreation ponds on the surrounding acreage, lake construction where the watershed will carry it, and plenty of older ponds needing help. Start with what a pond costs to build for a new one, or farm pond repair if the dam is seeping and the spillway has cut back.
In Shelbyville, that demolition includes barn demolition, garage & shed teardown, mobile home 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 Shelbyville 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 tears down barns, garages, sheds, mobile homes, foundations, and outbuildings across Shelbyville and Shelby County — structure down, debris hauled off, and the site graded clean.

From a single garage teardown in Shelbyville to a full farmstead clearing in the county, we scope it honestly and quote it free. See our full demolition services or call (217) 809-0779.
Our demolition services Shelbyville customers call for most often are the everyday ones: a garage or shed off the alley in town, a barn or machine shed out on the farm, a mobile home on a lake lot, and the concrete left behind after any of it. Shelbyville demolition services run the same way whether you're in town or ten miles out — we bring the machine and the trucks, take it down, haul it off, and grade the spot. Findlay, Strasburg, Stewardson, Cowden, Sigel, and Lakewood are all on the same route.
Farm buildings and barns. Shelby County farm ground is full of buildings that quit earning their keep — hip-roof dairy barns, corn cribs, hog houses, machine sheds, and lean-tos. Timber-frame barns come apart differently than pole buildings: we pull them in a controlled direction, sort the tin and the timber out of the load, and take the foundation stone and footings if you want the ground back in production. Barn demolition is some of our steadiest work in this county.
Grain bins and legs. Bins get cut and dropped or unbolted and taken down in rings, depending on what's around them and whether the sheet steel is worth saving. Concrete pads and the ring foundation come out too if they'd be in the way of tillage. See grain bin removal.
Houses, garages, and mobile homes. Vacant and fire-damaged houses in town, detached garages and sheds on residential lots, and mobile homes on rural acreage and lake lots. House demolition includes the basement or crawl space backfilled and compacted rather than left as a soft hole; garage and shed teardown includes pulling the slab if you want it gone.
Foundations, slabs, and concrete. Old feedlot pads, silo bases, house foundations, and driveway aprons broken out and hauled. Clean concrete is worth separating from the general debris, and we do.
Around Lake Shelbyville, the teardown itself is usually the easy part. The hard part is getting a loaded tandem in and back out. Cabin properties and lake-access subdivisions have narrow, sloped, tree-lined lanes, soft shoulders after a rain, and septic fields you cannot run a truck across. On the farm side it's the opposite problem — plenty of room, but a long lane, a field entrance culvert that may not carry a loaded truck, and county road weight restrictions during the spring thaw.
So before we quote anything on this side of the service area we drive the route, look at the turnaround, and figure out where the trucks stage. On tight lake lots we work the JCB 8040ZTS mini and shuttle debris out to a staging point instead of parking a tandem where it will sink or tear up a yard. On open farm ground the Komatsu PC150LC-6 and the D6N do the work and the trucks back straight in. Either way, the debris leaves — nothing gets buried on site and nothing gets burned unless you have the permit for it and ask us to.
Utility disconnects need to be confirmed dead before a machine touches a structure, and on rural properties that means the propane tank pulled and the well and septic identified too. We walk that with you at the estimate. Everything is one free on-site visit and one straight, itemized number — call (217) 809-0779.
Shelbyville is one of our high-volume markets and probably the spot where the most distinctive work happens — Lake Shelbyville. The 11,100-acre Corps of Engineers reservoir sits north of town, ringed by Eagle Creek and Wolf Creek State Parks and surrounded by cabin properties, lake-access subdivisions, and farms that need pond, dock-access, and shoreline work the rest of our radius doesn't see.
Sub-areas we cover: Shelbyville, Findlay, Strasburg, Stewardson, Cowden, Sigel, Trower, Lakewood, and rural Shelby County. The lake brings us up here a lot — Findlay is right on the north end, and the cabin properties rim the entire reservoir.
Lake Shelbyville pond & waterway work: if you've got a farm pond, a private recreational pond, or a piece of shoreline that's losing ground — that's our wheelhouse. New pond construction, cleaning out silted-in ponds, retention basins, and creek-bank stabilization. The Komatsu PC150LC-6 reaches what most local contractors can't, and the JCB 8040ZTS gets into the tight cabin-property spots.
Sloped sites and tree access: lake properties are rarely flat. Track machines, careful access planning, and the experience to know when to say "no, that approach won't hold" — call and we'll come walk it before quoting.
Common Shelbyville-area jobs: rock and gravel driveway installs (long lake-property drives are common), pond cleanouts and new pond builds on the surrounding farms, culvert work along county roads and lake access, and the occasional foundation dig in town. Shelby County is also one of our regular NRCS / SWCD grassed waterway markets — practice 412 work on the farm ground.

Barns, corn cribs, machine sheds, hog houses, and other farm buildings; grain bins and their concrete ring foundations; houses, detached garages, and sheds in town; mobile homes on rural acreage and lake lots; and old foundations, feedlot pads, and silo bases. See our demolition services for the full scope.
Usually yes, but we walk it first. Lake lanes are narrow, sloped, and treed, and a loaded tandem can't go everywhere a pickup can. On tight lots we work the JCB 8040ZTS mini and shuttle debris out to a staging point rather than parking a truck where it will sink or tear up the yard. If access genuinely won't work, we'll tell you at the walk instead of after we're on site.
We haul it with our own tandem dump trucks — that's the point of hiring one contractor. Nothing gets buried on the property. Clean concrete gets separated from general debris, and the footprint is graded back so it drains instead of holding water.
Rock driveways, pond cleanouts, lake-property excavation, and culvert work are the volume. NRCS waterway work in season.
