Midcentury Homes North of Saint Paul

Excavation contractors in Roseville work in a Ramsey County city of 36,254 people (2020) that grew rapidly in the 1930s and 1940s and incorporated as a village in 1948. Rose Township, named for settler Isaac Rose, dates to 1858. The city sits at about 912 feet with 0.83 square miles of water.

Midcentury lines

Homes from the 1930s through the 1960s have aging laterals, water services and drainage. Lateral replacements and regrading are routine work here.

Lakes and parks

Central Park covers 225 acres and includes Bennett Lake. Reservoir Woods Park and several small lakes and ponds mean some lots have high groundwater.

Commercial corridors

Rosedale Center and Har Mar Mall anchor busy commercial areas. The first Target store opened here in 1962. Small commercial site work and utility trenches are part of the mix.

Glacial soils

Roseville sits on a mix of glacial till and outwash. Trench walls in sandy spots need sloping; backfill in loamy spots needs compaction.

Frost

Footings and water services go below frost depth by code. Winter digs cost more.

Lakes

Lots near Bennett Lake, Lake Owasso and other small lakes have shoreland rules.

Planning a job

Most Roseville homes sit on modest lots with attached or detached garages. We plan access from the driveway or alley, protect lawns with mats, and haul spoil as we go when there is no room to stockpile. Typical lateral or drainage jobs finish in one to two days.
