Excavation & Demolition in Hancock County, Indiana
Hancock County is one of the fastest-growing corners of the Indianapolis metro, and fast growth means dirt work: building pads, driveways, septic systems, drainage, and demolition from McCordsville and Fortville down to Greenfield and New Palestine.
Where we work in Hancock County
Know your ground
What makes Hancock County dirt different — and why it matters when you dig.
A quarry that became 3 billion gallons of water
In 2019, a played-out limestone quarry next to Geist Reservoir was converted into Citizens Reservoir — 88 acres, 220 feet deep, holding 3 billion gallons of drinking water. It might be the best second life a hole in the ground ever got, and it's a reminder that excavation shapes this county's water supply, not just its buildings.
Growing almost 14% in five years
Hancock County jumped from about 79,800 residents in 2020 to an estimated 91,000 by 2025. Every subdivision pushing east from Indianapolis starts as farm ground that needs clearing, grading, pads, drives, and utilities — which is to say, it starts with us.
Greenfield was a gas boomtown for 20 years
Natural gas discovered in 1887 set off two decades of factory building in Greenfield before the wells went dry. Boom-era industrial buildings that have outlived their usefulness are steady demolition work today — and old sites can hide forgotten infrastructure below grade.
Brandywine Creek and the Big Blue River do the draining
Hancock County's rolling ground drains through Brandywine Creek — which runs right through Greenfield's Riley Park — into the Big Blue River system. Working with those natural drainage paths, instead of against them, is the core of every grading and drainage plan we build here.
Hancock County Permits & Resources
We handle the permitting on most jobs — but if you want to read along, here's where Hancock County's rules live.
Inside city or town limits, municipal permits often replace or add to these county resources — several towns run their own building, driveway, and stormwater programs. Check your address to see the exact authority and contacts for your parcel.
