Pittsboro keeps things simple, and that is exactly why people like it. Tucked into northern Hendricks County a short hop off I-74, the town itself is a compact grid of quiet streets where lots run a little roomier than what you find in the bigger suburbs, and the pavement gives way to open farm ground within a few minutes in any direction. That mix creates a particular kind of dirt work. In-town homeowners deal with settled yards, tired concrete, and gutters draining into flower beds, while folks on the surrounding acreage need building pads, drainage across flat ground, and post holes by the dozen.
Some excavating companies will not bother with a smaller town. Sterling's Affordable Excavating is not one of them. We are a family owned, husband and wife operation, Casey and Ashley Jones, based right here in Hendricks County, which makes Pittsboro a neighbor rather than a detour. We take the town jobs and the country jobs alike, and we treat both with the same care.
Between village lots and open acreage, Pittsboro calls on the full range of what we do.
Excavation and grading covers the biggest share of it. Out on acreage, that means cutting level pads for garages and outbuildings, shaping ground for new projects, and smoothing rough or rutted areas back into usable lawn. In town, it usually means correcting a yard that has settled until rain drains toward the house instead of away from it.
Drainage and downspout work matters more on flat ground, not less. When there is no slope to carry water off, it just sits. We bury downspout lines, cut in drains, and build subtle grades that move water along even where the land looks level to the eye.
Demolition and concrete breaking clears out the structures a property has outgrown. Old sheds and outbuildings, cracked slabs, retired sidewalks, and stoops that have pulled away from the house all come out clean, debris hauled and the ground left ready.
Dirt removal and hauling works both directions. We take away spoil piles a project leaves behind, and we deliver fill and topsoil when a low spot needs building up or a new lawn needs a decent seed bed.
Retaining walls come into play wherever a grade change needs holding, from a bank beside a driveway cut to the transition around a raised patio or walkout. Solid walls keep the earth honest.
Augering may be the most Pittsboro service of all. Pasture fencing, yard fencing, deck footings, and pole barn posts all need holes, and a machine auger drills them plumb and clean through clay that would wear out a whole family of hand diggers.
Sterling's Affordable Excavating does dirt work in Pittsboro, Indiana, handling grading, drainage, demolition, hauling, retaining walls, and augering for both in-town lots and rural acreage. The company is family owned by Casey and Ashley Jones, rated 5.0 on Google, and offers free estimates at (317) 503-6782 by call or text.
In a small town, reputation is everything, because everybody talks. That suits us fine. We quote honestly, show up when we said we would, and finish the way we promised, because Casey and Ashley run this company under their own family name and intend to keep working in this county for a long time.
Our reviewers consistently point to communication, and you will see why. From the first text to the final walkthrough, you will always know where your project stands, even if you are away while the work happens. Estimates are free, so a phone call costs you nothing but a few minutes.
A lot of excavating outfits chase the big subdivisions and let the small town work go to voicemail. We think that is backwards. A drainage fix on a quiet Pittsboro street or a set of barn post holes on an acreage north of town gets the same planning, the same careful equipment work, and the same cleanup as anything we do in the bigger towns.
Being county based helps. When our equipment is already working the north side of Hendricks County, a Pittsboro stop is efficient for us, and that efficiency shows up in fair pricing for you. It also means that when you have a question after the job, the people who did the work are ten minutes away, not two counties over. Small towns remember who treated them right, and we plan to be remembered well.
"We highly recommend Sterling's!! Excellent communication with us, before, during, and after they were done with the work even when we were out of town."
Gladly. Pittsboro is part of our home county and an easy trip for our equipment. Town lots, acreage outside the limits, it all fits squarely inside our normal service area, not at the far edge of it.
Yes, and we enjoy them. Building pads for outbuildings, drainage across flat ground, fence line augering, and clearing old structures are all regular work for us on acreage in northern Hendricks County.
Usually quickly, since we are based in the county and pass through the north side often. Call or text (317) 503-6782, tell us what you are dealing with, and we will set a time to come look and leave you with a free estimate.
