Harrisonville is the county seat of Cass County — and the surrounding area is some of the most genuinely rural working farm country in the Kansas City metro. Large properties, wide open land, and the kind of jobs that require real equipment and real experience to do right.
Solid Ground is based in Grain Valley — close enough to Harrisonville and Cass County that we work down here regularly. We know the terrain: flat to gently rolling farm ground, creek drainages that need to be respected, fence rows thick with invasive honeysuckle and Eastern red cedar that have been spreading for years, and long rural driveways that take a beating in wet springs.
