Excavation & Site Work services in Columbia
Columbia is a planned town in Howard County, built from the late 1960s on as a set of villages, each with its own center, paths and open space. The ground is Piedmont: weathered rock soils with boulders, over harder crystalline rock, on gently rolling land cut by stream valleys that feed the Patuxent and Little Patuxent rivers. Because the town was planned, many lots back onto open space or a path, and homeowner associations and the Columbia Association have their own review for exterior work. Homes are now fifty years old in the first villages, so original sewer laterals, footer drains, driveways and patios are reaching the end of their life. We replace laterals and water lines, regrade yards that drain toward the house, dig for additions and patios, and remove old decks, slabs and sheds in Columbia.

Permits and local rules
Columbia is unincorporated Howard County, so county permits apply, and many lots also need approval from the village or homeowners association for exterior changes. Miss Utility must be notified at least two full business days before digging. We confirm both steps first.
