Site Work, Concrete & Drainage Contractor in Camden, NJ

Housing stock

Camden is one of the oldest cities in South Jersey, and much of its housing is older attached and semi-attached homes on narrow lots, mixed in with commercial buildings, churches, schools and newer infill construction. Older homes in any city of this age tend to have older water and sewer services underneath them, and the lots leave little room to stage equipment. That shapes how we plan a job here: smaller machines, careful sequencing, protecting neighboring walls and walks, and keeping sidewalks passable while we work. We look at each property in person before we quote, because what is under the ground in an older city often only shows itself once you open it up.

Ground conditions

Like the rest of the coastal plain, Camden generally sits on sandy and silty soils, and parts of the city are low-lying near the rivers. Older urban ground can also contain old fill, foundations and abandoned utilities from earlier buildings. We call in utility mark-outs before every dig, expect the unexpected when we excavate, and shore or slope trenches to suit what we find.
