Carroll County

Our home county. Carrollton is where the farm is, where the trucks park, and where most of our weekday work lives. We’ve been a Carroll County business since 2018, and most of our customers are within a 15-mile drive of our front gate.

Just Outside Our Service Area?

We regularly take jobs in towns just outside this service area, like St. Clairsville, Coshocton, & Canfield.

If you’re not technically inside our service area, but within an hour’s drive of Carrollton, give us a call and we’ll see if we can help.

Why You Should Hire Locally!

Excavating isn’t a service you should hire from out of state. The soil changes from county to county.

Carroll County clay behaves differently from Wayne County loam, and what works for a driveway in Massillon won’t work the same way in Cadiz.

We’ve been farming and excavating Northeast Ohio ground for years, so we know the soils, the slopes, the freeze-thaw cycles, the permit offices, and the contractors/inspectors in each county.

When you hire Ballard’s Acres & Excavating, you’re hiring people who’ve worked ground exactly like yours, hundreds of times.

For most jobs inside our service area, we don’t charge a separate travel fee. The drive is built into the estimate.


For jobs farther out or on the very edge of our footprint, we’ll be upfront about any additional cost before you commit to anything.

Most estimates happen within a few days of the first call, regardless of which county you’re in. For Stark County and Carroll County, we can sometimes do same-week. Farther corners of the footprint (eastern Belmont, western Wayne) may take a few extra days depending on what we’re already running.

Generally no — we stay inside Ohio. We’re set up for Ohio permitting, Ohio licensing, and Ohio soil conditions, and crossing state lines adds complications we’d rather not pass on to customers. If you’re a contractor or property owner just over the state line and you’ve got a good reason to call us, we’ll listen — but Ohio is where we work.

We’re no strangers to working jobs outside our primary service. Call us with your specific address and we’ll let you know coverage details.
