Here's a short
video showing Gus Leigh
on the Kubota excavator while doing some precise digging in a septic
field.
Leigh Trucking and Landscaping is the father and son team of
Doug Leigh and Gus Leigh. They not only have the experience, skill,
and equipment, but also the commitment to service that will bring
success to your trucking or landscaping job.
They own a tandem axle 6 wheeler dump truck capable of
hauling 50,000 pounds or 10 yards of limestone. They also own a
4 wheeler dump truck that is capable of hauling 25,000 pounds or 5 yards
of limestone.
A Kubota mini-excavator is their unstoppable workhorse
that can work in tight quarters and make an otherwise tough job to be
an easy one. Gus Leigh is such a talented operator of the mini
excavator that an observor in Norway, Illinois said, "If I had an itch on
the back of my head, I wouldn't be afraid to have Gus scratch it with
that bucket!" The mini-excavator's bucket has a hydraulic
"thumb" which can grab and lift tree trunks and other awkward objects if
needed.
Leigh Trucking and Landscaping works with both developers and
individuals. The trucks for hire commonly do custom hauling of CA6
grade 8 limestone, mason sand for swimming pools, torpedo sand for
improving garden drainage, black topsoil, pulverized black topsoil, and
fill clay. Leigh Trucking and Landscaping usually does not recommend
pulverized topsoil due to possible clay content.
If you need to dig a good foundation for a home, a room addition, a
driveway, or a parking lot, call Leigh Trucking and Landscaping; they will
complete a job for foundations, footings, and tiling to exact
measurements.
Based out of their heated shop and garage in Plano, Illinois, Leigh
Trucking and Landscaping serves the surrounding area including
Sandwich, Yorkville, Somanauk, Newark, Oswego, Montgomery, Aurora, Sugar
Grove, Hinckley, Big Rock, Aurora, and Naperville.
Leigh Trucking and Landscaping has local experience
repairing washed out and eroded shorelines at Farm Colony in Oswego and at
Blackberry Creek in Yorkville; they know how to clean the bank area,
install and shape clay, lay down fabric, and install rip rap stone for a
scenic look.
The photo in the left column shows the shoreline at Doug's
home. Note the way the rocks blend cleanly into the
landscaping. This pond/stream required major re-buidling after the
"500-year flood" in 1995 that washed out the portion of Frazier Road shown
here; the flood also removed the prior culvert along with a
mountain's worth of dirt.
