Yard in a newer Raymore subdivision that pools every time it rains? Larger lot on the edge of town where the back acreage has gone to honeysuckle and cedar? Driveway that washes out year after year? We fix all three. Solid Ground runs a Takeuchi TL12-R2 track loader with an FAE forestry mulcher head for wooded and overgrown ground, an 84-inch high-flow brush cutter for lots and fields at 4–5 acres a day, and the grading and excavation equipment for French drains, regrading, building pads, and driveways rebuilt with drainage underneath instead of more gravel on top.
On drainage, we look at where the water actually goes on your lot — including what’s coming off the neighbors — before we recommend anything. On clearing, we tell you whether the brush cutter will handle it or it’s a mulcher job, and most residential Raymore jobs are one or two days either way.
Raymore is newer development pushing up against old farm ground on the north edge of Cass County, which is exactly the mix we see the most of: built-in drainage problems on one side of the road, overgrown acreage on the other.
We’re in Grain Valley, a quick run up I-49. Call Hap at 816-316-0261 and tell us what you’re dealing with.

Dense honeysuckle and brush are prime tick habitat. Raymore families with kids and dogs who can’t use their back property because of ticks find that clearing solves it — the tick population drops significantly after forestry mulching removes that dense low cover.

Yes — newer subdivisions aren’t immune to drainage issues. Grading that wasn’t done quite right, drainage patterns that don’t account for neighbor runoff, low spots that collect water — we assess the actual situation and fix it properly with regrading, French drains, or both.
