Lots that need striping in Cleveland
A university town fills its lots every day. Delta State, Bolivar Medical Center and the city's schools all have parking that has to work for drivers, delivery trucks and people walking. Straight Line Services stripes new or sealed asphalt, draws up new traffic layouts, and marks no-parking zones and fire lanes. On a lot that has been sealed, the old lines are gone, so the layout has to be put back down right.
The stores and restaurants along US 61 need lots that read clearly from the road. If your stalls are faded or the layout never worked, we can redo it. We also handle ADA approved layout: accessible stalls, the symbol and a striped access aisle. The ADA requires at least one van-accessible space for every six accessible spaces, and the aisle has to be level with the stall, with no more than a 1:48 slope.
Land work around Cleveland and Bolivar County
Jones Bayou runs right through Cleveland, and the county around it is flat Delta cropland. Flat ground with heavy clay does not drain on its own. Shop pads, house pads and yards need to be built up and graded so water moves off them. We haul in fill, spread it and shape it, and we check yard grades with a laser level. Site and arena grading gets done with a track loader.
Bolivar County also has hunting ground. Charlie Capps WMA and Riverfront WMA are both in the county, and private tracts around them get used the same way. B&M cuts lanes and trails wide enough for a truck and trailer, clears grown-up tracts with the timber pushed up in windrows, and can select clear when you want the good trees left standing. We dig ponds and dirt pits with an excavator and dump truck.
Permits in Cleveland
The City of Cleveland has a Department of Community Development that handles construction permits, inspections, zoning and the city's building codes. If your project is inside city limits, start there. Outside town, check with Bolivar County. Since Bolivar has two county seats, ask which courthouse handles your part of the county. We are glad to talk through what your project may need.
Some rules apply anywhere in the state. Mississippi law requires notifying 811 before digging. Jobs that disturb 1 to less than 5 acres fall under MDEQ's small construction stormwater coverage, and 5 acres or more falls under the large construction permit. If clearing debris will be burned, check local ordinances, MDEQ open burning guidelines and any county burn ban first.
