Excavation Contractors in Hazel Dell, WA

Excavation contractors in Hazel Dell work in one of the first suburban areas developed in Clark County after World War II. The unincorporated community straddles Interstate 5 north of Vancouver, at about 233 feet, and counted 23,569 residents in 2020, up 21.3 percent from 2010. Vancouver Lake lies a short distance west.

Name and history

First settlers Reese and Sarah J. Anderson named the area for a stand of filberts on their land. The county poor farm operated here from the late 1800s to the late 1940s.

Tight housing

In 2020 Hazel Dell had 9,602 housing units, 3.4 percent vacant, with a homeowner vacancy rate of only 1.0 percent. Owners improve what they have: sewer laterals, drainage, garages, ADUs and driveways.

Older homes, older lines

Homes from the postwar decades are now 60 to 75 years old. Sewer laterals and water services are frequent replacement jobs, often with right-of-way permits from Clark County.

Common Hazel Dell jobs

• Sewer and water line trenching
• French drains and tightlines
• ADU and garage footings
• Old garage and shed teardowns

Small lots

Lots are typically small, and access is through driveways or narrow side yards. Compact excavators and careful staging are standard.

Freeway and traffic

Interstate 5 runs right through Hazel Dell, and the main arterials carry heavy traffic. We schedule truck trips to avoid peak hours and keep loading on your property rather than in the street.

Near Vancouver Lake

Vancouver Lake lies a short distance west. Lots on lower ground toward the lake stay wetter in winter than those on higher ground near the freeway.
