Fenton, MI

Fenton is home base for Rock Solid Excavation. This is where John lives and works, so when you call about a project here, you're talking to a contractor who knows the local clay, the lake country, and exactly how a Fenton winter chews up anything that wasn't built right. Freeze, thaw, repeat — built to take it.

Lake country and clay: building for Fenton ground

Fenton sits in lake country, and a lot of property here either touches water or drains toward it. That puts two problems on the table: shorelines that erode and yards that hold water in heavy Michigan rain. We grade so water moves where you want it instead of pooling against a foundation, and on the lakes we build beaches and shoreline that hold their shape through wave action and ice.

The other constant is freeze-thaw. Fenton's heavy clay soils swell when wet and heave when frozen, and that cycle is what cracks driveways and shoves retaining walls out of plumb over a few seasons. We build with the right base depth and drainage so the ground can move without taking your project with it.
