Summerset is one of the newer and faster-growing small cities in the area, sitting between Black Hawk and Piedmont along the I-90 corridor. Much of the town is recent construction, with new subdivisions and homes on lots that were bare ground not long ago. Digger Construction LLC serves Summerset with the site work that new development depends on, from grading and utilities to retaining walls.
Because Summerset is largely new, most of our work here is connected to construction: grading building lots, prepping pads, installing sewer and water service, and building retaining walls on graded lots. New ground that has been cut and filled needs proper compaction and drainage to perform, and that is exactly what we make sure of.
A freshly developed lot can look ready to build while hiding problems under the surface: loose fill, poor drainage, and soil that has not settled. We grade for drainage, compact properly, and build retaining walls with the base and backfill that keep them from leaning as the ground settles. Doing it right at the start is far cheaper than fixing settling and water problems later.
A freshly developed lot can look finished while hiding problems below the surface. Fill that has not been properly compacted settles over the first few years, and a wall or slab built on it can crack or shift. Drainage on new developments is another common weak spot, since the natural runoff patterns get rearranged during construction and do not always end up working in the homeowner's favor. We compact correctly, grade for real drainage, and build retaining walls with the base and backfill to handle settling ground.
New subdivisions mean new driveways and roads to keep clear when winter arrives. We handle snow removal for Summerset properties so a young, growing neighborhood does not get stranded by the first big storm. Because the streets and lots here are new, drainage patterns are still settling into place, so we make sure cleared snow and its meltwater are directed away from driveways and foundations rather than left to refreeze across them.
Summerset has gone from bare ground to a growing small city in Meade County in not many years, and that speed leaves its mark below the surface. As one subdivision phase follows another, the natural drainage patterns get rearranged again and again, and runoff that used to have somewhere to go can end up pointed at a driveway or a foundation if a site was not graded with the bigger picture in mind. We grade for real drainage, not just a level look, so water leaves a property the way it should even as the neighborhood around it keeps changing. The tiered, cut-and-fill lots common in newer Summerset developments also lean on retaining walls, and a wall is only as good as the base and backfill behind it. We build them to hold against settling ground rather than to look right for a season. Compaction is the quiet piece that ties it together, because fill that was not packed properly settles over the first few years and takes slabs, walls, and grade with it when it moves. Permitting and inspection run through Meade County and the city depending on the work, and we handle both. From prepping a building pad on a fresh lot to walling a tiered slope to keeping winter access clear, we do the groundwork a young, fast-growing Summerset neighborhood depends on, done right the first time.
Yes. We grade lots, prep pads, set utilities, and build retaining walls for new homes throughout Summerset.
New lots often have loose fill and unsettled soil, so compaction, drainage, and wall construction have to be done carefully. We plan for it.
Yes. We clear and treat driveways and properties through the winter.
