Excavation & Site Work services in Dundalk
Dundalk lies on the low Coastal Plain southeast of the city, on a peninsula between Bear Creek, the Patapsco River and Back River. The soil is sand, silt and clay laid down by old rivers, and the water table is high near the shore, so an excavation a few feet deep may start filling with water. Hurricane Isabel pushed tidal water into many waterfront streets here in 2003, and low lots still flood in strong storms. Historic Dundalk was planned around the steel mill in the 1910s and 1920s, and much of the rest is postwar rowhouses and small single homes on compact lots. That means old laterals, settled yards and basements that seep. We dig sewer and water lines, regrade yards that hold water, remove old slabs and sheds, and prep pads for garages and additions in Dundalk.

Permits and local rules
Dundalk is unincorporated Baltimore County, so county permits apply, and lots within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area or the floodplain need a grading permit for any grading, whatever the size. Miss Utility must receive notice at least two full business days ahead. We check the Critical Area line for your lot.
