Excavation Contractors in Richfield, MN

Excavation contractors in Richfield work in an inner-ring suburb of 36,994 people (2020) where most of the roughly 10,000 single-family homes were built in the 1950s and most apartments in the 1960s and early 1970s. The city borders Minneapolis, Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, Fort Snelling, Bloomington and Edina, at about 840 feet.

Seventy-year-old lines

Homes from the 1950s have sewer laterals and water services that are now about 70 years old. Many need replacing. We dig the trench and restore the yard while your plumber handles the pipe.

Small lots, detached garages

Richfield lots are modest, and many have detached garages that are reaching the end of their life. Garage teardowns and new slabs are common.

Wood Lake

Wood Lake Nature Center, a 150-acre city park with wetlands that opened in 1971, is one of the nation's first urban nature centers. Nearby lots may have high groundwater.

Snowmelt and basements

Richfield's flat lots and 1950s grades often slope toward foundations after decades of settling. Spring snowmelt finds every low spot. Regrading and buried downspouts are cheap, effective fixes.

Airport and highways

I-35W, I-494 and Highways 62 and 77 cross the city. We plan hauling around them and around airport traffic on the east side.

Planning a Richfield job

Most Richfield jobs start in the alley or the driveway. We measure gates and side yards, lay ground protection on lawns, and schedule dump trucks so they do not block narrow residential streets for long. A garage teardown or lateral replacement is usually finished in one to two days.
