Excavation Contractors in Beachwood, OH

Excavation contractors in Beachwood work on high ground. The city sits at about 1,214 feet, more than 600 feet above Lake Erie, in eastern Cuyahoga County. Beachwood seceded from Warrensville Township in 1915 but stayed tiny for decades: 1,073 residents in 1950, then 6,089 in 1960, a jump of 467 percent. The 2020 census counted 14,040 residents and 6,425 housing units on about 5.3 square miles.

Postwar and later homes

Because most growth came after 1950, Beachwood's homes are mostly midcentury ranches and colonials, with later infill and rebuilds. Original sewer laterals and drives from the 1950s and 1960s are reaching the end of their life. Teardown-and-rebuild projects also show up, which means demolition, basement fill and new foundation digs on the same lot.

Clay on the plateau

High elevation does not mean dry yards. The plateau soils are still dense glacial till, and water perches on the clay in spring. Footing drains, downspout lines and regrading are common on lots where water collects at the back of the house.

Busy commercial core

Beachwood Place and La Place shopping centers and the University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center draw heavy traffic. For residential jobs we schedule truck trips to avoid peak hours on the main roads and keep streets clear.
