Excavation & Site Work services in Oak Lawn

Oak Lawn spreads across flat ground southwest of Chicago, and most of it went up between the 1940s and the 1970s, so brick ranches, raised ranches and Georgians on regular lots are the typical house. The 1967 tornado cut across the village, and much of what it hit was rebuilt. Soils are glacial clay and till with poor natural drainage, and with so little slope, water from a summer downpour sits in yards and against foundations. Stony Creek and the Wolfe Wildlife Refuge area are among the few low wet spots. We regrade yards and side yards, replace sewer and water lines, tear out old driveways and patios, prep garage slabs and dig footings for additions across Oak Lawn.
