A City Still Being Built
Excavation contractors in Avon work in one of the fastest-growing cities in the region. Avon had 7,337 residents in 1990, 11,446 in 2000 and 21,193 in 2010, an 85 percent jump in a single decade, and 24,847 in 2020. The 2020 census counted 9,208 housing units across about 20.8 square miles in northeastern Lorain County, at an elevation of about 689 feet.
New construction site work
Rapid growth means new homes, additions and outbuildings, each needing site prep: clearing, topsoil stripping, footing digs, utility trenches and finish grading. We work for homeowners and small builders on single lots.
Young subdivisions, settling soil
Homes built since 2000 are newer, but their foundation backfill is still settling and builder grades are often minimal. Flat lots over clay leave water nowhere to go, so regrading, swales and drains are common within the first ten to fifteen years.
Older farm-era properties
Before the boom, Avon was largely rural, and older homes and outbuildings on large parcels still need teardowns, clearing and new utility lines.
Building on former farmland
Much of Avon was open farmland before the 2000s boom. Farm fields often have old clay tile drains running under them, and new construction can cut or crush those lines. When a new yard suddenly stays wet, a broken field tile is one possible cause. If we find old tile during a dig, we tell you and can reconnect it or route it to a new outlet. We also handle the leftover structures, like old barns, sheds and foundations, that come with larger rural parcels.

Avon Questions
Can you prep a lot for a new house?
Yes. We clear, strip topsoil, dig footings and utility trenches, and finish grade to the builder's plan.
My new house already has a wet yard. Why?
Flat lots and clay subsoil drain slowly, and new backfill is still settling. Regrading and a drain usually help.
Do you build pads for pole barns?
Yes. We strip topsoil and build a level, compacted stone pad.
We hit an old clay pipe in our yard. What is it?
On former farmland it is often an old field drainage tile. We can trace it, repair it or reroute it so it keeps carrying water.
