Can you build a house pad?

Pad construction is part of our earthwork scope. We review the plans or the survey, confirm the finished elevation, and tell you what fill the site needs before quoting.

Do you handle the fill dirt?

Yes. Import, export and on-site cut-and-fill balance are all part of the estimate. Haul distance is usually the biggest cost variable.

Project scope

Excavation, Grading & Earthwork

Grading and earthwork depend on cut and fill volumes, soil, and where material ends up. Share the site conditions and the target elevation or slope, and we will assess the work involved.

What this work can include

Rough and finish grading
Cut and fill earthwork
Building pad construction
Driveway and access grading
Swale shaping
Soil placement and spreading

What we'll ask you

These details decide the equipment, the sequence, and the permits. Having them ready makes the estimate faster and far more accurate.

Approximate cut/fill and expected volume
Whether soil stays on site or leaves
Whether this is part of a larger development
Existing permit or development order status

Scope, permitting responsibility, and pricing are confirmed after a site review. We will tell you directly if any part of the job needs a differently licensed trade.
