Excavation & Site Work services in Upper St. Clair
Upper St. Clair is a township of larger lots, mature trees and wooded ravines in the South Hills. Many homes were built from the 1950s to the 1990s on hillsides, with walkout basements, long driveways and back yards that drop toward a stream. The soil is clay and silt over layered shale and sandstone, and on steep ground that weathered rock can creep or slide when water collects behind a wall or under fill. Boyce Mayview Park and other open land keep much of the township green, and the township expects runoff and erosion to be controlled. Our work in Upper St. Clair leans toward slope jobs: retaining wall excavation, curtain drains above walkout basements, regrading for patios and pools, driveway base on steep approaches, and utility trenches through wooded lots where we protect the trees that stay.
