Excavation Contractors in Alpine Township, MI

Excavation contractors in Alpine Township work northwest of Grand Rapids in a township named for the abundance of pine trees in the area. Alpine was organized in 1847 from the northern half of Walker Township and became a lumbering region with several sawmills. It had 14,079 residents in 2020 on about 35.9 square miles, at an elevation of about 843 feet. Communities include Alpine, part of Comstock Park and Englishville.

Clearing for homes

Wooded parcels are common, and new homes and outbuildings start with clearing, stump removal and topsoil stripping. We clear only what the project needs.

Septic or sewer?

Before we quote, we confirm whether the home is on public sewer and water or on a private well and septic system. Township properties often have both arrangements on the same road. Septic work follows the design approved by the local health department; we dig the tank and field to that plan and keep machines off the field area. Well lines are trenched below frost and kept clear of the septic system.

Storm history

A tornado struck Alpine during the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak. Storms still bring downed trees and damaged outbuildings that need cleanup and regrading.

Typical Alpine jobs

• Lot clearing and site prep
• Septic tanks and fields
• Gravel drives and culverts
• Pole barn pads

Orchards and open land

Open land around Alpine includes farms and orchards, and properties often have long frontages on county roads. Kent County requires a Road Commission permit for any work in the county road right-of-way, including new driveways and culverts, which we pull before setting pipe. Older farmsteads may also have abandoned wells, cisterns or foundations that need care during digging.
