Working in Casco Township
Casco Township had 3,990 residents at the 2020 census. It has four unincorporated communities: Adair in the northeast, Casco in the south central part, Muttonville on the western boundary next to Richmond, and Peters in the southeast. Addresses use two ZIP codes, 48064 for Casco and 48023 for Fair Haven.
Because Muttonville sits against Richmond, it is easy to mix up which county a property is in. The township is all St. Clair County, and that decides which road and drain offices apply, even when the nearest town is across the line in Macomb.
Elite Excavating LLC is owner-operated. George walks the job, prices it and runs the machine himself. In Casco Township that covers all eight services on this site, from land clearing to residential excavating.
Estimates are free. Call (989) 702-2426 or send the contact form with the address and what you need done.
Two ZIP codes, one county
Mailing addresses in Casco Township read either Casco (48064) or Fair Haven (48023), and some properties near Muttonville sit right beside Richmond. None of that changes the county. For a new drive or culvert onto a county road, the office is the St. Clair County Road Commission. For a county drain away from the road, it is the St. Clair County Drain Commissioner. Check with Casco Township too before a house or pole barn goes up, and confirm current rules with each office.
Our guide to driveway and culvert permits explains who owns which road.
Farm ground, fence rows and wet spots
Most of the township is farm ground and homes on acreage. Fields left alone fill with brush and saplings, and fence rows widen year after year. Brush hogging and forestry mulching bring them back without hauling anything away. Where a building or drive is going in, full clearing takes out the stumps and roots.
Low corners of a field or yard can hold water in spring. The usual fix is grade first and pipe only where it is needed. Work in a stream channel or on its banks goes through Michigan EGLE.
Drives and pads
A long drive needs a firm base, a crown and a culvert where water has to cross. A pole barn pad needs topsoil stripped, compacted fill and a finished height above the ground around it. See pole barn pads in St. Clair County for how that is done.
Getting a price in Casco Township
George walks the property with you and gives you a number before any work starts. Spring and fall run busiest, and soft or frozen ground changes what can be done, so you get a realistic window. Nearby, the company also covers Richmond, Columbus Township, Memphis and New Haven.
