Frequently Asked Questions

No. Estimates from K&H Excavating are free. We'll look at the property, talk through what you want done, and give you a price for the work.

It helps to know where the property is, what you'd like done, and roughly how big the area is, whether that's acres to clear or the size of a pond. If you can text a few photos of the site, that gives us a head start before we come out.

Every property is different. Soil, slope, water, access for equipment, how much material has to be moved or hauled, and the drive from Rosedale all affect the cost. Two jobs that sound the same on the phone can look very different on the ground. Seeing the site lets us give you a number we can stand behind.

Yes. Kory Stone owns K&H Excavating and handles estimates himself, so the person you talk to about your project is the person responsible for getting it done.

Most of our work is within about 50 miles of Rosedale. For larger projects, we'll travel up to around 75 miles, which reaches Terre Haute, Bloomington, Lafayette, and Indianapolis. The bigger the job, the more sense it makes to haul equipment farther. See our service areas page for more.

Yes. Rosedale is close to the state line, and we take on projects in eastern Illinois.

We run excavators and dozers. We don't use skid steers for our land clearing work. Our focus is larger projects where heavier machines can move more material and get the job done right.

Most of our customers are private landowners with 10 or more acres, along with farmers and ranchers. We also work for commercial property owners, especially on demolition projects. Our equipment is best suited to bigger properties and bigger jobs.

Yes. We don't build driveways, and we don't trench for utility lines or septic systems. If you need that work, we'd rather tell you upfront than take on something outside what we do best.

Summer and fall are usually the best stretch for pond digging in Indiana. Spring tends to be wet, which can slow pond work down. In a mild winter, when the ground stays workable, pond work can still move ahead.

Often, yes. January through March can bring frozen or difficult ground, but winter is also a good time for land clearing and demolition. Some properties are easier to get into once the ground has firmed up.

Rain can delay dirt work, especially in spring. Running heavy equipment on saturated ground can do more harm than good. When weather holds a job up, we pick it back up as soon as conditions allow.

We're available Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Yes. Our business number, (765) 548-3704, accepts text messages. Texting is a good way to send photos of your property, too.

We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.
