About Prospect

Prospect sits at the far northeast corner of Jefferson County — Glenview, Hunting Creek, Norton Commons just outside, and a lot of custom-built homes on half-acre-plus lots. We do new-construction site prep, basement digs through Ohio River bluff soil, and high-end outdoor living for the homes along U.S. 42 and River Road.

Soil & Bedrock

Prospect's bluff lots sit on alluvial soil over limestone, with the river-side properties needing real attention to footing depth and slope stability. Inland subdivisions have heavier clay and standard Jefferson County drainage profiles.

Permits & Inspections

City of Prospect issues its own permits. Properties near the river floodplain need elevation and floodplain certifications. We coordinate with the surveyor when required.

What We Do Here

New-construction basement excavation on bluff lots. Concrete driveways with circle drives and stamped accents. Cedar pergolas, covered porches, and travertine pool decks for the high-end residential market. Retaining walls on the sloped river-adjacent lots.
