Excavation Contractors in Brooklyn Park, MN

Excavation contractors in Brooklyn Park work in a northern Hennepin County city of 86,478 people (2020) on the west bank of the Mississippi, which forms its eastern boundary. Settled in 1852, it grew from 10,197 people in 1960 to 26,230 in 1970 and 67,388 by 2000. Much of the land north of 85th Avenue was developed after 2000.

Two generations of homes

South of the newer areas, many homes date from the 1960s and 1970s and now need lateral, water service and drainage work. North of 85th Avenue, newer subdivisions see pools, patios and additions.

River and sand

Near the river, outwash sands are common. They dig easily but cave easily, and spring groundwater can rise. We slope or shore trench walls.

Farm heritage

The Eidem Homestead, a working farm from the 1900s, is a reminder that most of the city was farmland not long ago. Old farm fill and buried debris occasionally turn up.

Parks and trails

Rush Creek Regional Trail, Palmer Lake Park and Mississippi Gateway Regional Park mean many lots border open space. Drainage outlets must respect those boundaries.

Winter

Frost and snow limit the season; we plan accordingly.

Sand and spring water

Outwash soils like the Hubbard series can have a saturated zone 1 to 2 meters down from April to June in normal years. A basement dig in spring may hit water that is gone by late summer, so timing matters for pools and additions.
