Excavation & Site Work services in Camas
Camas grew up around its paper mill on the Columbia River, and the town has since spread up the hills around Lacamas Lake. The older streets near downtown sit on river terraces of sand and gravel, while Prune Hill and the slopes above the lake have silty and clay soils over weathered rock, with steep lots, ravines and springs. Rain from October through spring soaks these slopes, and runoff that is not managed can erode a yard or push water toward a foundation. Many hillside homes have retaining walls, long driveways and drainage that crosses property lines. Newer neighborhoods such as Grass Valley sit on more gently sloping land. Our Camas work includes footing and basement digs on slopes, retaining wall cuts, curtain drains, utility trenching, driveway prep and tree and brush clearing for new homes.
