New Neighborhoods Next to the City
Excavation contractors in Grand Rapids Township work in a charter township bordered by Grand Rapids to the west and East Grand Rapids to the southwest. Organized in 1834 as Kent Township and renamed in 1842, it became a charter township in 1979. It grew from 14,056 residents in 2000 to 18,905 in 2020, about 34.5 percent, on about 15.3 square miles at roughly 807 feet.
Development along M-44
New neighborhoods and townhomes keep going in along the M-44 corridor and roads like 3 Mile and Maguire Avenue. That means site prep, utility trenches and grading for builders, and drainage fixes for owners of homes built in the last few decades.
Mixed lots
Older homes near the city line sit on smaller lots with city-style services. Farther out, lots are larger, with room for pools and outbuildings, and some properties use well and septic.
Typical Grand Rapids Township jobs
- Pool and patio excavation
- Regrading and drains
- Service line trenches
- Footings for additions
Clay-loam uplands
Much of the township sits on loamy till. Water perches on it in spring, so drains and downspout lines are valuable even on higher ground.
Knapp's Corner area
Commercial development around Knapp's Corner and the Springs at Knapp Crossing brings traffic to the M-44 corridor. We plan truck routes and timing so residential jobs nearby are not slowed. Newer neighborhoods such as Arbor Hills and Balsam Waters have young landscaping where good grading now saves drainage problems later. Older lots near the city line often have mature trees whose roots we work around when trenching.
