The ground around here
What the dirt does in this part of the county
Fenton is a river town, and the Meramec is the fact that organises everything about the ground there. The river loops through and around the city, and the low ground along it is floodplain with a well-documented history — whole sections of the area have been bought out and returned to open space after repeated flooding. Anything in or near that mapped floodplain carries permitting and engineering considerations that belong with the city and the county, not with a website.
Away from the bottoms, Fenton climbs onto the bluffs and the hills behind them, so the typical property has the same split found in Arnold: sloped ground shedding water into flatter, slower ground below. Add the amount of hard surface in a developed suburban area — roofs, drives, roads, parking — and the runoff arriving at the bottom of a slope is a good deal more than the soil there was ever shaped to handle.
What gets asked for
The jobs this area tends to need
Around Fenton the common work is residential regrading and drainage, swales and rock runs, driveway and parking-area bases, retaining and boulder walls on the bluff-side lots, patio and slab subgrade, and demolition with haul-away on the older properties.
That describes the ground and the housing stock here, not a list of jobs completed in this town. The work we can show you is on the gallery, and what customers say about it is on the why us page.
