Excavation Contractors in North Olmsted, OH

Excavation contractors in North Olmsted work mostly on homes from a twenty-year burst. The city had 6,604 residents in 1950, 16,290 in 1960 and 34,861 in 1970. The 2020 census counted 32,442 residents and 14,390 housing units on 11.67 square miles of land, all of it land, at an elevation of about 761 feet. The city was incorporated in 1909 on land Aaron Olmsted bought in 1805.

Aging together

When most of a city's houses go up in two decades, their laterals, drains and driveways age together. Sixty years on, root-filled clay sewer pipe, settled foundation grades and cracked driveways are the jobs we see most.

Lorain Road access

Lorain Road (State Route 10) runs through the city and connects to the Ohio Turnpike at Exit 152. For residential work off Lorain Road, we stage trucks on side streets and time hauling to avoid peak traffic.

Flat west-side ground

The west side is fairly flat, and clay subsoil drains slowly. Backyard ponding is common, and the fix is usually a combination of regrading and a French drain to a permitted outlet.

Lorain Road history

A stretch of Lorain Road was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most restaurants within a mile. The commercial strip and the neighborhoods behind it grew together in the 1950s and 1960s. Homes on side streets near the corridor often have long, narrow driveways and detached garages, where a teardown and new pad are a common pairing. We plan staging so trucks do not block narrow residential streets.
