Excavation & Site Work services in Glen Burnie
Glen Burnie is in northern Anne Arundel County, and it is Coastal Plain ground through and through. The soil is sand and gravel with layers of clay, which digs easily but caves in an open trench unless it is sloped or shored. In low spots and near Marley Creek and the Patapsco, groundwater sits close to the surface. Much of the housing went up after World War II along Ritchie Highway: brick and frame homes on modest lots, many on slabs or crawl spaces, with aging laterals and driveways. Sandy soil drains well where it is clean, so dry wells and infiltration work better here than in the clay north of the city. We do lateral and water line replacement, yard regrading, dry wells and French drains, slab and shed removal, and pads for garages and additions.

Permits and local rules
Glen Burnie is unincorporated Anne Arundel County, so county permits apply, and lots near tidal water can fall in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. Miss Utility needs notice at least two full business days before digging. We check the county rules for your address.
