Product overview

B.R.

The company offers two core service lines—Excavating Services and Paving Services—supplemented by multiple specialized divisions including a Concrete Division, Hydro-Vacuum Excavation (X-Kavator), Rock Crushing, Topsoil Sales, and Emergency Sinkhole/Water Line Repair. The portfolio includes specialty branded products like DuraTherm and TrafficPatterns XD decorative asphalt, Stamped Asphalt Address Markers, and Porous Paving for stormwater management.
