Durand sits in Shiawassee County, a smaller town set in the more rural, open country west of our Fenton base. Rock Solid Excavation travels there for septic, driveways, land clearing, and grading — the kind of work rural property tends to need. Out here, where lots are larger and septic is common, durable work that survives Michigan's freeze-thaw is what matters. Freeze, thaw, repeat, built to take it.
What we do in Durand
Rural and small-town property has different needs than a dense suburb. Larger lots mean more land management, longer driveways, and systems off municipal service like septic. We handle the full range, from clearing overgrown ground to installing a septic system to grading a drive that holds up to weather and traffic.

Rural lots, septic, and Michigan weather
On rural property, you're often managing more land and relying on a septic system rather than a sewer hookup. A septic install has to be sized and set right for the soil, and a gravel or dirt driveway out here takes a real beating from frost, rain, and runoff. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycle and heavy spring rain work on long drives and open ground especially hard. We grade to shed water, build drives on a base that holds, and install or repair septic so it works season after season.
Why Durand property owners call Rock Solid
Durand is farther out from our Fenton shop than our home turf, but it's well within the area we serve and travel to. John comes out for a free on-site walk-through, looks at the land and the systems, and provides a written estimate. On rural work especially, seeing the property in person is how we get the scope right. We run Monday through Saturday, 7am to 5pm.

We do. Septic install and repair is one of our core services, and rural lots off municipal sewer are exactly where it comes up most. We size and set the system for the site.
