Services
Site Grading
Our precision grading services utilize GPS technology and 3D modeling to achieve exact elevation specifications. With 300+ company-owned machines and experienced operators, we handle mass earthmoving, cut/fill operations, and final grading for commercial developments. The integration of drone surveying ensures accurate topography verification throughout the project lifecycle.
Storm Drainage
We install comprehensive storm drainage systems using reinforced concrete pipe, corrugated metal pipe, and HDPE materials. Our expertise includes designing detention/retention systems that comply with local regulations while preventing water accumulation. Advanced modeling software ensures proper water flow calculations for site-specific requirements.
Asphalt Paving
Our paving services combine precision grading with quality asphalt application. Working with top regional contractors, we provide complete paving solutions from stone base preparation to finished surfaces. Specialized equipment ensures consistent thickness and smooth application for commercial parking lots and roadways.
Demolition Services
We handle complete demolition of existing structures, including buildings, asphalt surfaces, and underground utilities. Our process includes proper debris management and site preparation for subsequent development. Heavy machinery and experienced crews ensure safe and efficient removal of all structural elements.
Concrete Recycling
Our recycling division processes concrete and asphalt debris into reusable aggregates. This sustainable approach reduces landfill waste while providing cost-effective materials for new projects. On-site crushing capabilities support efficient material management during site preparation and demolition phases.

Report
We had a problem with a property that Strange Bros uses for fill, from time to time. They did not cause the problems, nor did the property belong to them. That certainly did not seem to matter to them. They took my concern seriously and took it upon themselves to resolve our issues, as if it were their own issue! The owner, himself came out to survey the property and formulated and executed a plan immediately.
Their office communicated with me clearly and beyond my expectations. From one contractor to another, i cant say enough good things about them and how they impressed me and my team. I'd recommend Strange Bros 100%!
