Excavation & Site Work in Shelbyville

Shelbyville 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.

Call (217) 809-0779 for a free estimate anywhere in Shelbyville, Findlay, Strasburg, Stewardson, or rural Shelby County.

What a Teardown in Shelbyville Costs Depends On

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.

Shelbyville & Lake Shelbyville Country

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, 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.

"Does a fantastic job! I called Levi to handle a rock drive, and he was here within two business days. It took only a day to get it done. He is a great person to work with — very patient, kind, and a genuine person. I will definitely use his services again when the need arises."
