    What We Do

    Site prep is the foundation under the foundation. We take a raw lot or a tear-down and turn it into a level, compacted, drained, building-ready pad with utilities stubbed where the plans say they go. Builders call us because we don't hold up the framers.

    • Homeowners building their own home and managing trades
    • Developers prepping multiple lots in a small subdivision
    • Commercial owners building shops, barns, or small retail buildings

    • Topsoil strip and stockpile
    • Cut/fill to engineered subgrade
    • Compaction in lifts with density testing if specified
