If your Grain Valley property has gotten away from you — back acreage grown up in honeysuckle and cedar, a pasture that hasn’t been cut in a couple of seasons, a fence line you can’t see anymore — we clear it. Solid Ground runs a Takeuchi TL12-R2 track loader with an FAE forestry mulcher head for heavy woody growth and an 84-inch high-flow brush cutter for fields and lighter brush. Whatever’s growing on your land, we have the right machine for it, and we’ll tell you straight which one you need instead of selling you the more expensive option.
Need a driveway? We build new gravel driveways and rural access roads from the base up, with the grading and drainage done right so they don’t wash out the first wet spring, and we repair the ones that already have — ruts, potholes, soft spots, washouts. Add French drains for yards that pool and graded building pads for barns, shops, and new homes, and most of what a Grain Valley property needs is one phone call.
Solid Ground Land and Excavation Services is based right here in Grain Valley. This isn’t a service area we drive to — it’s where we live, where our equipment is parked, and where we’ve built our reputation one job at a time. We’ve worked for the City of Grain Valley directly, and we’re a member of the Grain Valley Chamber of Commerce. Word of mouth matters more here than anywhere else we operate, and we’ve earned a reputation in Grain Valley for showing up, doing the job right, and leaving the property better than we found it.
Call Hap at 816-316-0261. If you’re in Grain Valley, we can often be out to look at your property faster than anywhere else we serve.
Our Takeuchi TL12-R2 with FAE mulcher head handles the Eastern red cedar, invasive honeysuckle, Bradford pear, and hedge trees that take over neglected Grain Valley properties. Grinds everything into mulch where it stands — no burning, no hauling, no topsoil disturbance.

When you’re based in the same community you work in, your reputation is on the line every single job. There’s no hiding behind a 1-800 number or driving away to another market.
