Wood Village Excavation Contractor

Experienced | Local | Excavation Company

Wood Village is the smallest city in the Portland metro area, but its excavation needs are anything but small. Originally built as a company town for Reynolds Aluminum workers in the 1940s, Wood Village sits on Missoula Flood alluvial deposits with Troutdale Formation gravels at moderate depth. Many of the original post-war homes are reaching the age where foundations settle, utilities fail, and properties need significant excavation work to remain functional. Prodan Construction serves Wood Village with the same full-service excavation capability we bring to much larger cities, scaled to fit this community’s compact residential lots and growing commercial areas.

Digging Down and Building Up

Is your 1940s-era Wood Village home experiencing foundation problems because the original construction sits on settling alluvial soil? Does your Wood Village property need a utility line replaced that runs under a concrete driveway or patio? Are you planning to build an addition on your Wood Village home and need the site excavated and prepared? Do you own commercial property near Wood Village Town Center that needs site work before redevelopment? Has your Wood Village lot accumulated fill material or debris from previous owners that needs to be removed?

No matter your Wood Village excavation project, Prodan Construction delivers efficient, professional results in this close-knit community. We operate with minimal disruption to your neighbors, use equipment sized for Wood Village’s residential lots, and finish projects quickly so your property returns to normal as fast as possible. Our familiarity with Multnomah County permitting keeps your project moving smoothly through the approval process.

Landscape Grading, Sloping, and Site Preparation

Wood Village’s flat terrain simplifies some grading work, but the alluvial soils beneath the surface can settle unevenly over decades, creating low spots, poor drainage, and foundation problems. Our grading crews restore proper drainage to Wood Village properties that have lost their original grade, create level building pads for additions and outbuildings, and prepare commercial sites for the redevelopment activity happening around Wood Village Town Center. We work on compact lots without tearing up neighboring property, using equipment that fits Wood Village’s tight residential streets and shared driveways.

Septic Tank and Field Excavation

Most Wood Village properties connect to the municipal sewer system, but some older homes on the edges of the city may still use septic systems that are now past their functional lifespan. Prodan Construction handles septic system removal and replacement in Wood Village, excavating old tanks, removing failed drain field material, and installing new systems when sewer connection is not feasible. We work carefully in Wood Village’s established neighborhoods, protecting mature trees, fences, and landscaping while completing the necessary excavation.

Trenching Contractor

Wood Village’s aging infrastructure, much of it dating to the 1940s and 1950s when the town was built, creates regular need for trenching work. We replace old water lines, install new sewer connections, run electrical conduit for service upgrades, and dig drainage trenches to manage water problems. Our compact trenching equipment works efficiently in Wood Village’s small yards and between closely spaced homes, and we restore surfaces to match existing grades and materials after every trench is completed. If your Wood Village home needs a utility upgraded or replaced, our trenching crews get it done quickly and cleanly.

Excavating Foundations

Foundation work in Wood Village often involves repairing or replacing the original foundations poured in the 1940s and 1950s when the town was constructed. These older foundations were not always built to modern standards, and decades of settling in alluvial soil has taken its toll. Prodan Construction excavates around and beneath Wood Village foundations for underpinning, repair, and replacement, and we dig new foundations for additions, garages, and accessory structures. The alluvial soils here provide reasonable bearing capacity when properly compacted, and our crews ensure every foundation excavation reaches the stable subgrade your structure needs.

Property Cleanup

As Wood Village properties change hands and the community evolves beyond its company-town origins, many lots need cleanup excavation. We remove old concrete pads, abandoned utility runs, buried debris, and deteriorated outbuildings from Wood Village properties, clearing the way for new construction or improved landscaping. Our cleanup crews work efficiently on Wood Village’s compact lots, hauling away all material and leaving the site graded and ready for its next use.

Retaining Walls

While Wood Village’s terrain is generally flat, retaining walls are sometimes needed to manage grade transitions between properties, support raised garden areas, or create defined outdoor living spaces on small lots where every square foot matters. Prodan Construction builds retaining wall foundations in Wood Village’s alluvial soils, ensuring proper compaction and drainage for long-term wall stability.
