What We Do in Middleburg

Dirt Work Done Right,
Even Where a Truck Can't Reach

A lot of Middleburg dirt work is backyard work: pool fill-ins, low spots that hold water, pads and grading behind the house. The catch is access. JGH brings the equipment to move dirt wherever it needs to go and finish it clean.

01, Fill Dirt
Fill Dirt Hauled & Spread

Clean fill dirt trucked in, spread, and compacted in lifts so it doesn't settle later. Low yards, washouts, and building up grade where you need it.

02, Pool Fill-Ins
Swimming Pool Fill-Ins

Old in-ground pool you don't want anymore? We fill it in with compactable dirt, grade the yard level, and hand it back safe and usable, even in a tight backyard.

03, Grading
Grading & Drainage Correction

Middleburg's flat ground holds water. We reset the grade so water runs away from the house and off the low spots, then finish it smooth.

04, Tight Access
Tight-Access Backyard Hauling

No gate wide enough for a dump truck? We stage the dirt at the street on a tarp and move it to the back load by load with a compact track loader.

Recent Job, NE Middleburg

Swimming Pool Fill-In,
Northeast Middleburg

A homeowner in one of NE Middleburg's established neighborhoods was done with their in-ground pool and wanted the backyard back. The problem wasn't the pool, it was getting 7 to 9 loads of dirt to a backyard a dump truck couldn't touch.

The challenge: no truck access. The backyard sat behind the house with no gate or path wide enough for a loaded dump truck. Backing up to the hole was never an option, so every load had to be moved by hand-work with the machine.

How we did it. We dumped each load at the street on a tarp to keep the road clean, then moved the dirt to the back one bucket at a time with our John Deere 325 skid steer. Load after load, we filled the pool in lifts and compacted as we went so the ground won't sink later.

The finish. Once the pool was filled, we graded the whole area level and blended it into the yard. Two days start to finish, and the family got a safe, open backyard back instead of a pool they'd stopped using.

Problems We Solve
on Middleburg Properties

Most calls we get in Middleburg come down to three things: dirt that needs to go somewhere hard to reach, ground that holds water, or an old pool nobody wants.

Old In-Ground Pools

Pools cost money to keep up and take up the whole backyard. We fill them in properly, compacted in lifts, graded level, so you get usable yard back and no settling down the road.

Backyards a Truck Can't Reach

Fences, tight side yards, and landscaping stop dump trucks cold. We stage at the road and shuttle the dirt to the back with a track loader, keeping your driveway and pavement clean the whole time.

Low Spots & Standing Water

Flat Middleburg lots pond up after every rain. We bring in fill, build the grade back up, and shape it so water drains away from the house instead of sitting in the yard.

FAQ

Middleburg Dirt Work:
Common Questions

It depends on how much fill is trucked in, how far it has to be moved, and backyard access. Small grading jobs are on the lower end; bigger fill jobs like a swimming pool fill-in run higher because of the number of loads and the labor to move dirt to the back. JGH gives free on-site estimates, call 386-288-2212 and we'll come look at it.
When a dump truck can't reach the backyard, we dump the fill at the street on a tarp to protect the pavement, then move it load by load with a compact track loader. On a recent NE Middleburg pool fill-in the backyard was too tight for a truck, so we bucketed every load from the road to the back with our John Deere 325 skid steer.
It depends on the size and depth of the pool. A typical residential in-ground pool takes several dump-truck loads, a recent pool fill-in we did in Middleburg took 7 to 9 loads. We fill and compact in lifts so the ground doesn't settle later, then grade the area level.
Most residential pool fill-ins take 1 to 3 days. The NE Middleburg job took 2 days including hauling 7 to 9 loads of fill through a tight backyard and grading the area level. Timeline depends mostly on access and the number of loads.
