Solid Ground is a locally owned excavation and land clearing company based in Grain Valley, MO. Hap runs the operation hands-on — you’ll get a straight answer on what your job needs, a realistic timeline, and a price that doesn’t change when we show up. No subcontractors, no runaround.
We run a Takeuchi TL12-R2 track loader with an FAE forestry mulcher head — heavy equipment built for the invasive honeysuckle, Eastern red cedar, Bradford pear, hedge trees, and dense hardwood that take over Missouri properties fast. The kind of growth that can swallow a fence line or reclaim a pasture in just a few seasons if you let it. Whether you’re clearing a lot for a new build, reclaiming overgrown pasture, or fixing a washed-out driveway, we know the terrain and we know how to get it done right.
We serve homeowners, farmers, developers, and commercial property owners and local municipalities across Jackson, Cass, and Lafayette County. If you’re not sure what your project needs, call Hap at 816-316-0261 — he’ll tell you straight.
