When it comes to building a country driveway, what you can't see matters more than what you can. That's something we're dealing with right now on our latest project in Carroll, where we're installing a 500-foot driveway that's got everything going on underneath - from major gas lines to future septic fields.

You know what makes an excavator smile on a rainy day? Watching water flow exactly where it's supposed to go. While most folks are rushing to get out of the rain, we're out there watching our drainage work in action. Today's storm wasn't in our work schedule, but it gave us something better - a real-world test of our latest project.

When nature decides to test your work, she doesn't hold back. This week, our latest Pickerington project faced exactly that kind of test - five inches of rain in a single week. That's the kind of rainfall that can turn a property into a muddy mess if the drainage isn't done right.

You know that saying about the devil being in the details? In the excavation business, those final details aren't just important - they're everything. Out here in Pickerington, we're wrapping up a driveway project that's about 90% complete. But that last 10%? That's where the real action happens.

When half an inch of rain falls overnight in Pickerington, it usually means construction sites shut down. But not for us - not today. While other contractors might be waiting for things to dry out, we're out here laying 40 tons of asphalt millings. Why? Because we did something most people skip: we handled the drainage first.

You know what's funny about working on driveways? Rain is both your biggest challenge and your best teacher. Every storm shows you exactly where water wants to go and how well you prepared for it. That's why we're out here in Pickerington today, racing to get everything just right before tomorrow's big rain.

Sometimes the best test of a drainage system is a good hard rain. When the skies opened up over our Pickerington project yesterday, we got exactly what we needed - a real-world look at how our water management plan was working. And while most of it was working perfectly, that rain showed us something important: we needed to make a change.
