Need a area to be prepared before your project begins?

When installing a horse arena, driveway, tennis court, volleyball court or a RV pad the ground should be scraped three to four inches before the product is trucked in. Sod cutters or the bobcat bucket is used to shaped the area you want formed. The grass scrapings can be loaded and trucked off or on site. We recommend treating the ground with weed and grass killer to help prevent grass growing through the material. This tennis court was prepared in Sun City Center and required one load of grass scraping to be trucked off site and six loads of concrete fines to be trucked in for base material.

Roads in front of your house the town wont fix...We have the affordable way!

 Alot of people have called us and ask the same question; "Can you fix the road in front of my house?". The answer is yes if it is not a road the town is obligated to maintain. The two most common materials are crushed concrete road base and crushed asphalt. They are both about the same texturered material but the crushed asphalt seems to pack a little better and is less dusty in the dry season. Price wise they are both about the same although crushed concrete is more available. We also can box blade the existing material that has washed away and blend the new material in to make the job more cost efficient. This job was located in Zephyrhills, FL. and required one load of crushed concrete and one load of crushed asphalt.
