The ground around here

What the dirt does in this part of the county

Kirkwood is one of the older suburbs in the county and the housing stock shows it. Mature trees, narrow side yards, long established grades and drainage that predates modern stormwater practice by a long way. A great deal of the ground work here is correcting decisions made a very long time ago.

Access is the constraint that comes up most. Older lots often have a garage, a fence line or a neighbour where a machine would want to go, which is why the walk-through starts with the route in rather than the work itself. Compact machines reach places a full-size excavator cannot, and that is frequently what makes a Kirkwood job possible at all.

What gets asked for

The jobs this area tends to need

Around Kirkwood the work is regrading for drainage against older foundations, downspout and French drain runs, patio and slab subgrade, small retaining walls, old concrete and outbuildings broken out and hauled away, and driveway bases.

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.

Questions

Kirkwood: common questions

Do you cover Kirkwood?
Yes. Kirkwood is in St. Louis County, the second of the two counties this company covers, about twenty-five miles from our Hillsboro base.
Can you get a machine into a narrow back yard?
Often, and it is the first thing checked. A compact excavator and a track loader on rubber are the pairing that fits residential access, and they reach places a full-size machine cannot. Whether the lawn survives the trip in, and what the route looks like afterwards, is worth talking about on the walk-through.
My basement wall is damp after rain. Where do I start?
With where the water is coming from, which is usually the surface rather than the ground. Downspouts discharging near the wall and a yard that falls towards the house cause more damp basements than anything underground. That is a grading and drainage job, and it is the cheapest place to start.
