Excavation Contractors in Lyndhurst, OH

Excavation contractors in Lyndhurst work mostly on homes from one era. Lyndhurst had 288 residents in 1920, 7,359 in 1950 and 16,805 in 1960, and it peaked at 19,749 in 1970. The 2020 census counted 14,050 residents and 6,923 housing units on about 4.4 square miles. The city sits at about 1,037 feet on the plateau east of Cleveland, and Mayfield Road has been its main corridor since 1877.

Same age, same problems

Homes built between 1950 and 1970 share pipe materials, drain designs and construction habits. At sixty-plus years, clay laterals crack and fill with roots, footing drains clog, and foundation backfill settles toward the walls. Lateral replacements and regrading are the most common fixes.

Attached garages and long drives

Midcentury lots typically have a driveway to an attached or detached garage. Rebuilding a drive or garage slab on soft clay means digging out more than the old base and replacing it with compacted stone.

Mayfield Road traffic

Mayfield Road (US 322) is busy. We stage trucks on side streets and time hauling so residential work does not snarl the corridor.

Before you replace the driveway

If a driveway replacement is on your list and the sewer lateral runs under it, it is worth a camera inspection first. Replacing a cracked clay lateral before new concrete goes down is far cheaper than cutting a fresh drive later. We can dig and replace the lateral, then build the new driveway base in the same visit, leaving a clean, compacted subgrade for your paving or concrete contractor. The same logic applies to patios and walks that cross the line.
