Excavation & Grading in Aurora, IL
Aurora is Illinois's second-largest city and spans parts of four counties, and the Fox River valley gives it more slope than much of the surrounding flat suburban landscape.
Because of that terrain, Aurora yards are more likely to have real slope, which makes retaining walls, erosion control and careful drainage design common requests. Where soil sits on a slope, water running downhill can undermine patios, driveways and foundations over time.
Aurora's neighborhoods range from older housing near downtown to newer subdivisions on the east and south sides, so one job might involve tight old-lot access and the next might be a large open lot.
On a sloped Aurora lot, we look at where roof and driveway runoff concentrates, since a few downspouts discharging at the top of a slope can do more damage than the rain that falls on the yard itself.
