Site preparation FAQs
Answers before work begins.
What does site preparation include?
The scope can include excavation, rough grading, house pads, construction access, drainage shaping, fill placement, material handling, and final grading.
Do I need a permit for grading or excavation?
Requirements vary by county, property, drainage impact, wetlands, utilities, and the amount of earthwork. We review the site and confirm what applies before scheduling.
Can you prepare a house pad?
Yes. House pad preparation can be included based on the building plan, target elevations, soil conditions, access, and approved project scope.
How do you account for drainage?
Existing elevations, runoff direction, surrounding properties, access, and the intended finished condition are reviewed when shaping the site.
Can you prepare access for construction equipment?
Yes. Construction access and equipment routes can be included so the next crew can reach and work on the site more efficiently.
