Service Area
Shepherd is home base. Ostermiller Construction is headquartered right here — this farm community off Highway 312, northeast of the Billings Heights, is where the trucks park and where owner Josh Ostermiller answers the phone. The town was named for the man who ran the Billings Land and Irrigation Company, and it is still that kind of country: irrigated valley ground, gravel roads, acreage properties, and neighbors who know whose outfit is parked in whose yard.
Working where you live sets the standard everywhere else. In Shepherd we do the full range: concrete driveways and approaches, tear-out and replacement of slabs that have given up, patios, walks and steps, and asphalt for the long drives where concrete stops penciling out. If your place is off 312 or Shepherd Road, we are the closest crew there is.

Rural properties have their own concrete logic. The driveway meets a gravel road, so the approach takes mud, washboard vibration and tractor tires along with the family trucks. The front walk spans real distance instead of two squares. The patio looks at open valley instead of a fence. We build for that: heavier attention to base and drainage, approaches formed to meet the road grade honestly, and pours sized for the equipment that will actually roll over them.
Freeze-thaw out here is the same enemy it is everywhere in the valley, with less shelter from the wind. Slabs get air-entrained mix, grades that shed water, and control joints laid out for the pour — and when an old slab is heaved and cracked past saving, we replace it on a rebuilt base rather than patching or jacking what the ground underneath already rejected.
Being based in Shepherd puts most of our work inside a short drive. The Billings Heights is minutes down 312. Huntley and the Project towns are just east. Billings, Lockwood and Laurel fill out the daily orbit, and the wider circle — Roundup up US-87, Columbus down the interstate, Hardin to the east, Red Lodge at the mountains — is regular territory rather than a special trip.
That geography is the practical advantage of hiring us: short hauls mean estimates happen fast, small jobs stay worth doing, and the crew that poured your driveway is close enough to come stand on it with you afterward. No dispatcher three states away — the operation lives on the same roads it works.

Hot-applied rubberized crack seal for driveways and lots — water stays out, freeze-thaw stays beaten, small cracks never become potholes.

Faded gray asphalt sealed back to black — a barrier against sun, water and vehicle fluids that keeps the mat flexible and the base dry.
