The ground around here
What the dirt does in this part of the county
This is the bluff country, and it is the steepest ground in the county’s populated areas. The hills behind Imperial rise off the Mississippi in a way that produces long, wooded, sloping lots — and slope is the single biggest multiplier on an excavation job. It affects what a machine can reach, where spoil can go, how fast water moves, and whether a cut will stand up on its own.
On sloped, wooded lots, the two jobs that come up over and over are clearing and erosion control, and they are usually the same conversation. Vegetation slows water down; take the brush off a hillside and the water that used to filter through it starts running over the surface instead, and begins to cut. Clearing without a plan for the water afterwards is how a tidy hillside becomes a gullied one in two seasons.
