I grew up on a farm in Indiana, and heavy equipment was just part of the day. Neighbors would call for driveway rock or a regrade, and my dad would put me on the job. By 16 I was driving out solo, working up the estimate, and keeping whatever was left after the rock got paid for.
I spent a stretch in industrial maintenance, but the dirt work never stopped calling. When I went back to it full-time, the phone started ringing and didn't stop. So in November 2025 I made it official and started Hoosier Dirt & Gravel.

We've seen what happens when dirt work gets rushed. Driveways that wash out the first wet spring. Pads that crack a year later. Culverts sized wrong that back water onto the road. Most of it traces back to the base and the drainage, so that's where we start.
We walk the property, tell you straight what the work needs, and put the numbers in writing before any equipment moves. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
Our customers stay customers because they're not fighting the same problem season after season.
Mini excavator, mini skid steer, and full skid steer, all paid for. No rental markup in your quote.
The mini excavator gets into tight spots a big machine can't. The skid steer handles the volume work.
Free on-site estimates with clear numbers before any equipment moves.
We learned this work on Indiana ground. Acreage, gravel lanes, and clay soil are home turf.
