What We Do
Complete Site Preparation Services
Initial Site Clearing
Clear off the trees, brush, stumps, and growth, haul away the debris, and get the lot ready for grading and the work that follows.
Rough Grading & Leveling
Set the first grades, cut and fill to reach the elevations the plans call for, and stake out where the building pads go.
Foundation Excavation
Dig foundations, basements, and footings to the exact numbers, then prep the base your structure will sit on.
Site Drainage Systems
Put in the drainage the site needs, catch basins, French drains, and proper slopes, to keep storm water under control.
Utility Trenching
Cut the trenches for water, sewer, electric, gas, and communication lines, coordinating with the utility companies as we go.
Driveway & Access Roads
Build the construction access roads and lay the driveway base, graded and compacted and ready for the paving crew.
Erosion Control
Set silt fences, lock down the slopes, and manage storm water to stay on the right side of environmental rules.
Final Grading
Fine-tune the grade to final elevations and hand off a site that's ready for landscaping, paving, and the finishing touches.
Compaction & Testing
Compact the soil correctly under foundations, driveways, and building areas, with test documentation available on request.
