Excavation & Site Work in Catonsville, MD

Excavation & Site Work services in Catonsville

Catonsville sits on high Piedmont ground on the western edge of the city, sloping down to the Patapsco River valley. The soil is weathered crystalline rock, silty and full of mica, with boulders and hard rock at uneven depths, and the slopes toward the river and its side streams are steep and wooded. Along Frederick Road, Victorian and early twentieth century homes sit on mature lots with big trees, stone walls and old service lines. Postwar neighborhoods fill much of the rest, many with basements that take water when downspouts empty at the walls. Patapsco Valley State Park borders the town. Our Catonsville jobs are basement waterproofing digs, lateral replacement, retaining wall cuts on sloped yards, drainage swales, footings for additions and removal of old garages and patios.
