Excavation & Site Work in
St. Clair Shores, Algonac, Clay Township, Harrison Township, New Baltimore and surrounding areas
Build on Properly Prepared Ground
Successful marine and waterfront construction starts with the site underneath it. Before a seawall, boardwalk, or other improvement can take shape, the surrounding ground may need excavation, grading, removal, or other preparation.
Waterfront properties can present unique challenges because soil near the water may be affected by moisture, drainage, erosion, and changing shoreline conditions. Verbeke Contracting brings hands-on experience with Southeast Michigan properties to site-development projects, helping prepare the area for construction and long-term use.
Our excavation and site work services include:
- Site development and preparation
- Culvert installation and replacement
- Cement removal
- Foundation waterproofing
- Armor stone shoreline protection
- Excavation and grading for related marine construction
Whether site work is the primary project or part of a larger seawall or waterfront improvement, we'll evaluate the property and discuss what needs to happen before work moves forward.
Culvert Installation, Concrete Removal & Waterproofing
Culvert Installation & Replacement
Culverts help manage the movement of water across a property. When a culvert deteriorates or no longer performs properly, property owners may notice drainage problems, erosion, soft ground, or water collecting where it shouldn't.
Verbeke Contracting provides culvert installation and replacement as part of our site-development services. We'll assess the property and determine how the work fits into the site's broader drainage and excavation needs.
Cement Removal
Existing concrete can stand in the way of new construction or site improvements. We provide cement removal when necessary to prepare an area for the next phase of a project.
Coordinating removal and site preparation with the contractor handling your other waterfront improvements can simplify the process and help create a site that's ready for upcoming work.
Foundation Waterproofing
Armor stone provides another option for protecting waterfront property against shoreline erosion. Large stones are strategically placed along the shoreline to create a protective barrier between the land and moving water.
Depending on the property, armor stone may be considered on its own or alongside other shoreline improvements. The appropriate approach depends on factors such as the existing shoreline, terrain, erosion, and overall goals for the property.
Verbeke Contracting can evaluate your shoreline and discuss whether armor stone, seawall construction, or other marine construction services may be appropriate.
