Comprehensive Site Preparation and Earthwork
âžž
Every project starts with solid groundwork, and that means more than moving dirt. You need grading that accounts for drainage, utility placement that meets code, and sub-grade prep that supports the weight and use of your finished structure. We handle each element with care, using equipment suited to the scale and terrain of your site.
Our process begins with a walkthrough and consultation to identify slope, soil type, access points, and any existing utilities or obstacles. From there, we develop a clear plan and timeline, coordinating demolition, clearing, trenching, and final grading to keep your project on track.
Our excavation and site development services include:
- Full-site clearing and grading for residential, commercial, and agricultural builds
- Drainage solutions designed to manage water flow and prevent erosion over time
- Utility trenching and installation for water, sewer, and electrical systems
- Sub-grade preparation and driveway construction tailored to Merino soil conditions and climate
