Excavation & Site Work services in Oak Park
Oak Park is one of the most closely watched places in the area for older houses. It holds a large collection of Prairie School homes, including many by Frank Lloyd Wright, and several historic districts, so any work that changes a building's exterior or tears down a structure can draw extra review. The ground is flat glacial lake clay with a thin sandy layer on top in places. Lots are narrow, with alleys and detached garages, and big parkway trees line most streets. Typical jobs in Oak Park are sewer lateral replacement to the street, footing digs for replacement garages, drain tile and foundation repair digs on old basements, and drainage regrading where yards have settled toward the house over a century.
