Excavation & Site Work services in Oakland Park
Oakland Park is a small, fully built-out city wrapped by Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors, incorporated in 1929 after the short-lived town of Floranada. Most houses are modest mid-century homes on small lots, and the forks of the Middle River and several lakes cut through the neighborhoods. With no vacant land left, nearly every job is a repair, a replacement or a teardown and rebuild on a lot with neighbors a few feet away. Streets drain to grass swales in front of each home, and when those swales get paved over or filled, the block floods in a summer downpour. The city even has a dedicated permit packet for driveways, walks and patios. We do swale restoration, driveway excavation and base, small-lot demolition and clearing, and trenching with compact machines that fit through a side gate.

Permits and local rules
Oakland Park has a specific driveway, walks and patio permit checklist and a separate right-of-way permit application, so both driveway excavation and any digging in the swale or street need city approval. We could not open those documents to confirm dimensions or drainage requirements, so the rule for your lot is set by Building and Community Services and should be checked before work begins.
