What We Do

Everything between raw bush and a lot that is ready for footings. One crew does it all, so nobody is waiting on another trade to show up.

From Raw Bush to a Build-Ready Lot

This is the order it goes in. Skip a step or do them out of order, and you pay for it later, usually in a wet basement or a cracked driveway.

Why Builders Do Better Site Work

We have been building houses since 1979. We know what a lot has to look like when the foundation crew shows up, because most of the time that foundation crew is us.

  1. No buried stumps or organics under anything you build on. They rot, and the ground drops.
  2. Drainage first. We grade so water leaves the house, the septic bed and the driveway.
  3. Compaction in lifts, not one big pile and a pass with the bucket.
  4. Written price, written scope. You know what is included before we start.
  5. Utility locates before we dig. Every time.
