Wonderful experience! The work was quoted and completed within the same week. Price is very competitive and the work is top notch. During the installs and in between dump truck deliveries the staffing supported minor landscaping and helped with surrounding projects. Great local service that met all of my needs!
Driveway Installation in Batesville, IN
Hodges Grading & Excavating installs concrete driveways for homeowners across Batesville, Indiana and the surrounding region.
Expert Driveway Installation in Batesville, IN
A new driveway installation in Batesville starts well below the surface. Southeastern Indiana's clay soils hold moisture, and the region's freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on any slab that lacks a solid base. At Hodges Grading & Excavating, we handle the full scope of driveway installation: site clearing, excavation, subgrade preparation, compacted aggregate base, forming, concrete placement, finishing, and control joint placement. Every step is designed to shed water away from the slab and keep the surface stable through Indiana winters and wet springs. We serve homeowners and property owners across Batesville, Greensburg, Oldenburg, Sunman, Osgood, Versailles, Shelbyville, Milan, Aurora, Dillsboro, Lawrenceburg, Westport, and Brookville. Whether you are building a new home driveway or replacing an existing surface, we can assess your site and get the work done right. Call us to talk through your project.

Clay soils in southeastern Indiana hold moisture, which causes ground movement during freeze-thaw cycles. A properly compacted aggregate base keeps the slab supported and reduces the chance of cracking or settling.
Yes, sloped sites are part of what we handle through grading and excavation before any concrete is placed. Proper slope work also helps direct runoff away from the slab and your home.
