Excavation & Site Work services in Minnetonka
Minnetonka is wooded, hilly and full of wetlands, with large lots, mature oaks and homes tucked into slopes above ponds and creeks. Minnehaha Creek starts at Grays Bay on Lake Minnetonka and runs east through the city, and Purgatory Creek drains the southern part. The soil is mostly clay-rich glacial till, firm when dry but slow to drain, with wet, organic soil in low areas. Steep driveways, walkout basements and tree roots make many jobs here slower and more careful than on flat suburban lots. A few older properties still have septic systems. We do drainage work on sloped lots, retaining wall and addition digs, sewer and water line replacement, septic excavation for the homes that still have it, and driveway rebuilds on steep grades.
