Excavation & Site Work services in Alamo Heights
Alamo Heights is an older, independent city north of downtown, built mostly between the 1920s and the 1950s on high ground above the Olmos Basin. Its streets are lined with large live oaks and pecans, and its lots are often narrow and deep, with garages at the back and tight side yards. The soil is shallow clay over limestone and caliche, and it is common to hit rock within a couple of feet. Older homes have pier and beam foundations, clay sewer laterals and decades of patios, walls and pool decks built on top of each other. Access is the main challenge here. We use small machines to replace sewer lines, dig pools between houses, break out old slabs and walls, regrade for drainage and prepare pads for additions.
