Excavation & Site Work services in Edina
Edina is one of the busiest places in the metro for teardowns and rebuilds, and that drives much of our work there. An older house comes down, and the new one goes up with a deeper, wider basement, more hard surface and new utility lines. The soil is a mix of glacial till and sandy outwash, with wet ground and peat near Minnehaha Creek, Nine Mile Creek and the many small ponds. The Country Club District and Morningside have homes from the 1920s to 1940s on tighter lots, while western Edina has larger postwar lots. Managing runoff from a bigger new house onto smaller neighboring yards is a real concern. We dig basements and footings for rebuilds, replace sewer and water lines, install drain tile and regrade lots so water leaves the property properly.
