WE DO MORE THAN JUST MOVE DIRT

SEGMENTAL RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION

Interlocking Concrete Wall units were first introduced in the 1960s. In the mid 1980s construction began incorporating geosynthetics into wall construction and larger wall heights became possible. Segmental retaining wall units are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, finishes, and interlocking mechanisms. A segmental retaining wall project is only limited by imagination, product structural capacity, and budget. Whether you are needing a retaining wall for a new look in your yard or for building a heavy structure on top of it we can get the job done right. We are a National Concrete and Masonry Association (NCMA) Certified Installer. Regardless of how big or small your next project, be sure to consider us.

EXCAVATING

Excavating is the removal or digging out of dirt from a defined area. When excavating you may take dirt from one area and place it somewhere else within the same job site. In some instances you may have to have the dirt removed completely from the job site by hauling it away.

GRADING

Grading is used to make the ground level or evenly sloped as specified for the project. Projects will have different specifications but usually the end result will be level or evenly sloped. An example would be when the project is nearing an end the land will be graded so that sod or grass seed can be put down.

BACKFILLING

Backfilling is used after some type of hole has been created previously by excavating. Backfilling places back the correct amount of dirt or product to create the desired effect or goal. An example of backfilling would occur when the foundation of your house is complete and dirt must be put back against the foundation so that there isn’t a separation between the foundation and the start of your yard also so that the rain will drain away from you house.

TRENCHING

Trenching is when a cut in the earth is formed approximately 6 inches wide and 3 feet deep. The trench size can vary according to the requirements of the project. An example of trenching is when you are going to be installing new electrical service to some outside location away from your home. A trench must be dug so that your electrician can run PVC or metal pipe out to the destination. Your electrical wiring will be located inside of the tubing.

Over years of drainage you may have a gully or wash out that needs to filled back in with dirt and water rerouted so that it doesn’t happen again. You may even have to put in a culver pipe to aid areas like driveways.

TREE AND STUMP REMOVAL

If you have a tree that needs to be taken down, have a tree that has fallen down and needs to be cut up and hauled away, or an old tree stump that is in the way and needs to be removed then this is the service for you. Cutting down a tree would be done with a chain saw. Removal of an old tree stump would be done with a machine attachment called a “stump grinder”. This machine will grind the stump down to where it will be far below ground level so that you can fill the hole back with dirt and have a level yard.

CURB GRINDING/ ASPHALT & CONCRETE PLANERS

Planers are used to remove concrete in a slow and precise manner by the motion of a planer blade.  If you have a newly poured driveway, side walk, or curbing, you may need to make some alterations to the concrete in order to achieve the desire look and function of the end use. Examples would include ends of driveways where you want a smooth transition from the street to your drive way.  Another example would be when handicapped accessibility is needed on the transition from the street to the side walk.   These are both examples of when you would want to use the Curb Grinding Service.
