Example builds › Rock Solid Excavation › Services › Underground Utilities › Novi
Rock Solid Excavation handles the underground work that connects a property to its services — trenching for water, electric, and gas service lines, and sewer tie-ins to municipal systems. We plan around the utilities already in the ground, dig clean, and restore the surface so you'd hardly know we were there. In Michigan, what's buried has to survive frost and shifting clay, so compaction and depth matter. Freeze, thaw, repeat — built to take it.
What Novi ground does to this job
Novi is one of Oakland County's larger and busier suburbs, with dense residential subdivisions and a heavy commercial and retail presence. Rock Solid Excavation travels there from our Fenton base for hardscape, grading, walls, and winter snow work. Everything we install is built for the long Michigan cycle of frost and thaw — freeze, thaw, repeat, built to take it.
In a built-up suburb like Novi, a lot of the work is refreshing or rebuilding rather than starting from bare dirt — re-leveling a settled patio, replacing a failing wall, fixing a driveway that's no longer draining. We also handle commercial snow contracts for Novi's many business properties. Whatever the job, the base and the drainage come first.
How we build it
From a single service line to a sewer connection, we do the trenching and tie-in work that gets a property connected, on a new build or an existing one.
Trenching across a finished property can be a mess if it's done carelessly. We plan the route around what's already in the ground, dig efficiently, and put the site back together — proper backfill, compaction so the trench doesn't settle and sink later, and surface restoration so the lawn or drive recovers. Doing the compaction right is what keeps a trench from turning into a sunken line across the yard after the first freeze-thaw season.
