Do you work in Indianapolis, or only around Greencastle?
Both. On Grade is based in Greencastle and works east through Hendricks and Boone counties into Indianapolis and Marion County. Call with the address and you will get a straight answer on whether it is a job worth mobilising for.
Do you do commercial work as well as residential?
Yes. Pads, parking, drainage and mass grading for commercial and industrial sites, alongside the residential site prep, driveways and pond work.
How much does a gravel driveway cost?
It depends on length, width, how much base is already there and how far the stone has to be hauled. Nobody can give you a real number without seeing it. Call and we will look.
Can you fix a driveway that washes out every spring?
Usually. A drive that washes is nearly always a drainage problem rather than a stone problem — the water has nowhere to go, so it goes down the drive. That means grade and a culvert or ditch, not just more rock.
Do you clear lots and brush, or only full land clearing?
Both. Lot clearing for a build, brush clearing on ground that has gone over, and forestry mulching where you want the material left on site as chip.
How soon can you start?
It depends on weather and what is already on the schedule. Wet ground stops excavation faster than anything else. Call and ask — we will tell you the real timeline, not the one you want to hear.
Not sure which one you need?
Describe the site and we will tell you what it actually takes.
