Excavation Contractors in New Hope, MN

Excavation contractors in New Hope work in a Hennepin County suburb of 21,986 people (2020) about 12 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Rural residents split from Crystal Lake Township in 1936 to form New Hope, and after World War II farmland turned into subdivisions fast: 691 people in 1950, 3,552 in 1960 and 23,180 in 1970.

Homes built in a hurry

With most homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, laterals, water services, foundations and garages are all of similar age. Replacements and drainage are steady work.

Dense suburb

At about 4,348 people per square mile, New Hope lots are close together. Compact machines and careful staging matter.

Snow and rain

The city averages about 34.7 inches of precipitation and 54.3 inches of snow a year. Spring melt against foundations is a common source of wet basements, and regrading helps.

Neighbors

With most homes close together, we lay mats, protect fences and keep the street clean.

Planning a New Hope job

Most jobs here start from the driveway. We measure side yards, lay mats, and haul spoil as we go when lots are tight. Lateral replacements and garage teardowns usually take a day or two, and we sweep the street before we leave each day.

Schools and traffic

Cooper High School and several elementary schools are in the city. We schedule trucks outside drop-off and pick-up times.

Frost

Footings and water lines go below frost depth set by code.
