Excavation & Site Work services in McCandless
McCandless is a North Hills town of rolling ridges, wooded hollows and neighborhoods built mostly after 1950, bordering North Park. Lots tend to be larger than in the older inner suburbs, with long driveways and back yards that slope toward Pine Creek and its branches. The ground is clay and silt over shale and sandstone, and fill placed on slopes during development can creep. Many homes here have walkout basements and patios on the downhill side, which is where runoff ends up when grading or drains fail. Along McKnight Road and Perry Highway, commercial pads need parking lot and stormwater work. We handle regrading around walkouts, curtain and footer drains, retaining wall excavation, driveway base on steep approaches, pad prep for garages and additions, and trenching for water and power.
