Purchasing or building a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your lifetime. So each and every decision you make from the building to the maintenance phases of your home’s lifespan is important. We have had the opportunity to help our customers at various stages of the process. From the planning of the foundation to final grading and seeding of the lawn, we are always delighted to help local couples and families through construction to build the home of their dreams. When it comes to your home, Gravel Grading & Excavating can help with site and yard prep, leveling and grading around the property, installing your septic system and drain field, and much more. We want you to get the most out of your home and enjoy all that your property offers! One of our most memorable residential projects was from the summer of 2018 when we had an opportunity to work on a residential property high atop a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River town of Bellevue, Iowa. Unfortunately, this family found themselves unable to fully enjoy their outdoor spaces due to the steep hillsides and overgrown timber areas. We assisted them in cleaning up the overgrown trees to enhance their view. In that same year, we worked with another homeowner to improve and widen her driveway to help prepare a foundation for a horse arena. Another large project took place In the summer of 2019. For this project, the homeowner wanted to protect his 1970s-era home from water leaking into the foundation. In order to successfully complete this job, we utilized our excavator to dig out a trench around the house. Next, we installed tile lines to collect water and divert it away from the home to a designated drain field. Once that was finished, our crew reinforced the foundation through damp proofing to create a water barrier and then applied a tar membrane for additional water protection to keep moisture out of the home’s foundation. At the end of the project, we finish graded the lawn to provide even more protection to the home’s foundation for years to come. A septic system is essential in the daily functioning of your home. With all the water the average family consumes, it is of the utmost importance to have confidence in your home's wastewater collection and treatment system. We pride ourselves on our meticulous work when it comes to installing your home’s septic system and drain field. Our crew works closely with the family, the state of Iowa, and EPA codes and regulations to make sure the new system will be both functional and environmentally sound. To learn more about how the installation process works, see our blog about our previous work at a local family farm: If you are looking for residential services from our Gravel Grading & Excavating crew, get on our remaining 2020 schedule or book for early 2021 by calling 563-542-6610.
