Excavation & Site Preparation

Site clearing, earthmoving, trenching, grading, and getting raw land build-ready.

Excavation is where every project starts. New home build, shop pad, driveway extension, backyard reset — before anything gets built, the dirt has to move. We handle that part. Big or small, rocky or sandy, flat or sloped — we've dug most of it on the island at this point.

What We Dig

  • House and shop pads for new builds
  • Foundation digs and footings
  • Utility trenches (water, power, gas, comms)
  • Site clearing and topsoil stripping
  • Cut and fill to bring a site to grade
  • Basements and crawlspaces
  • Drainage trenches and French drain runs
  • Rough grading and pad compaction

How We Work a Site

1. Walk It First

Before any machines show up, we walk the property. We're looking at what's there, what's in the way, where the water goes, how we're getting equipment in and out, and where the dirt can go once it's out of the ground. No two sites are the same — the walk-through is how we figure out the approach.

2. Move the Dirt

Once we're on site, it's heads-down work. We strip topsoil and stockpile it if it's worth keeping, cut the grade where it needs cutting, fill where it needs filling, and haul out what doesn't belong. Clean, efficient, and tracked properly so nothing gets lost.

3. Leave It Ready

When we're done, the site is at the grade the next trade needs. Compacted where it should be, clean, and ready for a foundation pour, a builder, or whatever's coming next.

A Quick Note on Why This Matters

Most of the expensive problems on a finished property — settling foundations, cracked slabs, wet basements, failed driveways — trace back to how the dirt was moved before anything got built. Get that part right and the rest holds up. Get it wrong and you're fighting the site for the life of the project. That's why we take our time with it.
