The ground around here

What the dirt does in this part of the county

Pevely is on the shoulder between the river bluffs and the rolling country behind them, and the whole area drains east towards the Mississippi. That gives most properties a definite fall, which is useful when it runs away from the house and expensive when it runs at it.

The soils here carry a lot of clay, so water moves across the surface rather than soaking in. Add the amount of hard surface along the I-55 corridor and the runoff reaching the bottom of a slope is often more than the ground there was ever shaped to take. That is the call that comes up most: a low corner, a drive that rills, or a wall that stays damp.

What gets asked for

The jobs this area tends to need

Around Pevely the work is mostly grading and drainage — pulling water off a foundation, swales and rock runs, driveway repair and re-grading — plus pads for shops and garages, 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.

Questions

Pevely: common questions

Do you cover Pevely?
Yes. Pevely is in Jefferson County, one of the two counties this company covers, about twelve miles from our Hillsboro base. Herculaneum and Barnhart are the same trip.
Water runs off my drive and onto the road. Can that be fixed?
Usually. A drive that sheds onto a road is normally missing a crown, a fall to one side, or a cut-off at the top — and the fix is shaping the surface and giving the water an exit before any new rock goes down. New rock on the old shape washes out on the same schedule.
Do you do gravel driveways?
Yes, and the part that decides whether one lasts is underneath it: the subgrade and the drainage. Rock on soft, wet ground rutted and spread within a season regardless of how much of it went down.
