Example builds › Rock Solid Excavation › Services › Driveways & Grading › Fenton

Rock Solid Excavation builds driveways that shed water and stay put, and we handle the earthwork that goes with them — foundation pads, general earth moving, and precision grading for residential and commercial sites. A driveway is only as good as the base under it and the slope built into it. We get both right so it holds up through Michigan freeze-thaw, heavy rain, and clay-soil heave. Freeze, thaw, repeat — built to take it.
What Fenton ground does to this job
Fenton is home base for Rock Solid Excavation. This is where John lives and works, so when you call about a project here, you're talking to a contractor who knows the local clay, the lake country, and exactly how a Fenton winter chews up anything that wasn't built right. Freeze, thaw, repeat — built to take it.
Because we're right here, Fenton gets our fastest response and our shortest haul on equipment. We handle the full range of dirt and stone work for homeowners and commercial properties, from a new gravel driveway to a full lakefront beach. Whatever's going on with your ground, we can usually get eyes on it the same week.
How we build it
We build crushed-stone and asphalt-millings driveways that drain well and wear hard. Both are practical, durable surfaces for our climate when they're laid over a proper base and graded to move water off the surface instead of letting it pond and freeze.
Beyond driveways, we move dirt and shape grade where it counts. That means building level, compacted foundation pads for new structures, cutting and filling to set the right elevations, and fine grading so water runs away from buildings and low spots instead of toward them.
