Excavation Contractors in Independence, OH

Excavation contractors in Independence work in a small suburb with low housing density and a lot of traffic passing through. The 2020 census counted 7,584 residents and just 3,069 housing units on about 9.5 square miles of land, at about 860 feet elevation. Population more than doubled in the 1950s, from 3,105 to 6,568, and has stayed in a narrow range since, so many homes date from that era.

The interchange and Rockside Road

The four-level stack interchange of I-480 and I-77 sits here, and the original 1939 cloverleaf on Granger and Brecksville roads is still in use for local traffic. Along Rockside Road, offices and hotels went up in the 1970s. We plan truck routes and timing around these busy corridors.

Next to the national park

The northern end of the Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park starts at Rockside Road in Independence. Lots near the valley have slopes and wooded edges, where restrained cuts and controlled runoff matter.

Low density, larger lots

With relatively few homes per square mile, many lots have room for additions, pools, outbuildings and long driveways. Site prep and grading for those projects are common.

Older housing in a small city

With only about 3,000 homes, Independence has a limited housing stock, and most of it dates from the 1950s and 1960s, when population more than doubled. Replacing aging laterals, rebuilding driveway bases and reworking settled foundation grade make up much of the residential work here. Larger lots also see pool digs and additions. We confirm city requirements for anything near the street or right of way.
