Where we work in Tippecanoe County
Know your ground
What makes Tippecanoe County dirt different — and why it matters when you dig.
Purdue keeps the county digging
Purdue's 2,600-plus-acre campus and 50,000-plus students make it an economic engine that never stops building — and the growth spills into housing, utilities, and commercial work across the county. A construction market this active always needs dirt moved, and we're glad to oblige.
Half the Subarus sold in America start on a Lafayette pad
Subaru of Indiana Automotive, the company's only North American plant, has been building cars in Lafayette since 1989 — on a site that took massive earthwork to prepare. Every plant expansion and supplier facility since has meant more pads, more grading, more trenching. Industrial dirt work is the county's quiet backbone.
History was made on this ground in 1811
The Battle of Tippecanoe was fought at Battle Ground, just north of Lafayette, where Harrison's army clashed with Tecumseh's confederacy — the fight that put "Tippecanoe" into a presidential slogan. Ground with history in it deserves careful site work, and this county has more history per acre than most.
River outwash and upland clay: two counties in one dig
Along the Wabash, glacial outwash left sand and gravel that digs easy and drains fast; up on the till plain, it's the same heavy clay as the rest of central Indiana. Two soil worlds in one county means the soil evaluation isn't paperwork — it's what your septic design and your budget hang on.

Tippecanoe County FAQs
Do you take residential jobs in Lafayette and West Lafayette?+
Yes — septic, drainage, demolition, pads, and driveways. Tippecanoe is the western edge of our service area, so we schedule to make each mobilization efficient, and full-scope projects get priority.
Who issues septic permits in Tippecanoe County?+
The Tippecanoe County Health Department, following a certified soil evaluation. Soil type varies a lot here — river-valley sand versus upland clay — so the evaluation genuinely drives the design.
Can you handle drainage work near the Wabash floodplain?+
Yes. Floodplain grading and drainage need to be planned around high-water behavior, not fair-weather conditions — we design for the river the valley actually has.
