Excavation & Site Work help in Homer Glen
Homer Glen is a large lot town. About 90 percent of its housing units are single family detached and 95 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied per ACS 2020 to 2024 tables B25024 and B25003. Big private lots mean bigger machine work per address: long gravel drives, full yard regrades, and land clearing that a small lot suburb never orders.
The median home here dates to 1989 and 27 percent of the stock predates 1980 per tables B25035 and B25034. Swales and culverts cut for the 1980s subdivisions have silted in over 35 plus years, so re-establishing those drainage lines is a recurring Homer Glen job. Our crew digs them back to a working grade and keeps the water moving off the lot.
About 21 percent of local homes, roughly 1,760 units, were built in 2000 or later. Newer sections are still settling on backfilled ground, so sunken driveway aprons and patio bases inside the first decade are a common call. We reset the base with real compaction, then re-pour or re-lay so the slab stays put this time.
Median home value in Homer Glen is $418,800 with median household income of $136,678 per ACS tables B25077 and B19013. A high equity, high income market supports premium hardscape construction and full site packages rather than minimum scope bids. If you want the patio, the retaining grade, and the drainage handled as one plan, we quote it that way.

Do you handle long gravel driveways in Homer Glen?
Yes. About 90 percent of Homer Glen homes are single family detached on large private lots, and long gravel drives come with that territory. We grade and re-stone existing drives, cut proper crowns and ditches so water sheds off the surface, and build new drive bases for garages and outbuildings. It is one of the jobs we are set up to handle here.
Why does my Homer Glen yard stay wet along the old swale line?
Swales and culverts cut for the 1980s subdivisions have silted in over 35 plus years, so the channels that once carried water off these lots no longer fall the right way. The median home here dates to 1989, which puts most yards in that window. We re-cut the swale, restore the culvert flow, and regrade the low spots.
