Your builder needs ground that's ready. That's our job.
Site prep is where most projects either go smoothly or start costing extra. A site that drains wrong, sits too low, or has no decent way in for trucks causes problems for every trade that comes after.
We take the whole thing on: clearing, grading, the pad, the drive, and the drainage. You deal with one contractor, and the site is finished in the right order.
What's included
- ClearingTrees and brush off the footprint and work area.
- Rough & finish gradingGround shaped so water goes where it should.
- Building padBuilt up and compacted for the structure going on it.
- Construction accessA drive or entrance that holds up to delivery trucks.
- DrainageSwales, ditches and culverts so the site stays dry.
- Utility trenchingTrench prep for the utility crews.
How the job goes
- Talk it throughWhat's going on the site, and who's building it.
- Site visitWe look at slope, soil, drainage and access.
- Plan & estimateA scope that covers the whole site, in order.
- Do the workClear, grade, build the pad, cut in access.
- Hand it offReady for the builder, the slab crew or the home delivery.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so we price after we've seen it. These are the things that move the number.
- Size of the siteFootprint plus work area plus access.
- Starting conditionWooded and uneven costs more than open pasture.
- Slope & fillHow much dirt has to be moved or brought in.
- Drainage needsLow ground and runoff problems add work.
- Access lengthHow far the drive runs from the road to the site.
Get the order right and save money
The most expensive site prep is the kind that gets done twice. A pad built before the drainage is figured out, or a drive put in before the heavy equipment is done, usually means redoing work.
Bring us in early, even before you've picked a builder or a home, and we'll help you plan the site so each step only gets done once.
