Excavation Contractors in Solon, OH

Excavation contractors in Solon usually get more room to work than in the inner suburbs. Solon covers about 20.3 square miles of land with 24,262 residents in 2020, a density of about 1,194 people per square mile, and 9,079 housing units. It sits at about 1,040 feet in southeastern Cuyahoga County. The biggest population jump came in the 1950s, when it grew 146 percent, and steady growth continued for decades after.

Zoning that separates uses

Solon was one of the first cities to adopt a comprehensive zoning plan, designed to keep residential areas apart from industrial activity, with retail concentrated in the town center. For homeowners that means residential streets with larger lots, and city rules on grading, pools and accessory buildings that we check before quoting.

Parkland and runoff

The South Chagrin Reservation puts about 360 acres of Cleveland Metroparks land inside city limits, and Solon has 687 acres of city parks. Lots that back onto wooded or park land often receive runoff from it. Curtain drains and swales along the back of the lot are common fixes.

Pools, additions and outdoor living

Larger lots mean more pool digs, additions, patios and outdoor kitchens. We dig to the designer's layout, set grades so water drains across the whole yard, and haul or reuse spoil as the plan allows.

Clay still rules

Even on newer subdivisions, the subsoil is dense glacial clay. Builder grading from the 1980s and 1990s often settles toward foundations. Regrading and downspout lines solve many wet-basement complaints.
