A River Town Across Three Counties

Excavation contractors in Loveland work in a city that spans Hamilton, Clermont and Warren counties. Downtown sits in the Little Miami River valley on both sides of the river, which forms the Hamilton–Clermont line. The 2020 census counted 13,307 residents and 5,561 housing units on about 5 square miles. Population jumped 133 percent in the 1950s, from 2,149 to 5,008, and has grown every decade since.

Flood history

The March 1913 flood was the worst on record for Loveland, destroying a corn mill and washing out the Loveland Bridge. After another major flood in 1959, a dike was built along the river in 1962 and 1963. Lots in the valley can be subject to floodplain rules, and fill or grading there needs to be checked first.

Valley and hills

Away from the river, the ground climbs into wooded hills. Hillside lots need careful grading and drainage, and valley lots need outlets that work when the river is high.

The trail

The Little Miami Scenic Trail runs through town on the old railroad corridor. Properties next to it need care with spoil, runoff and access.

Hillside neighborhoods

Neighborhoods climbing out of the valley have steeper lots, older retaining walls and runoff from streets and yards above. On those lots we put water into solid pipe and carry it down rather than letting it soak the slope, and we keep fill off steep ground.

Typical Loveland jobs

Loveland Questions

Is my Loveland lot in a floodplain?

Valley lots near the river may be. We check flood maps and local rules before any fill or grading.

Which county's permits apply?

It depends on your address, since the city spans three counties. We confirm before starting.

Can you work next to the bike trail?

Yes, with silt control and care for access and the trail corridor.

Do you work on hillside lots above downtown?

Yes. We plan grading and drainage for the slope, not just the spot being dug.
