Excavation and Site Development in Mossyrock, Washington

Developing property in this type of environment can require careful consideration of terrain, drainage, access, vegetation, utilities, and environmental conditions.

Rural Site Development

A rural development project may require infrastructure that would already exist in a city.

That can include:

• Driveways

• Wells

• Septic

• Electrical

• Drainage

• Building pads

Land Clearing

Before development begins, portions of the property may need to be cleared.

Clearing may include:

• Trees

• Brush

• Stumps

• Debris

The final clearing limits should be based on the development plan and applicable requirements.

Excavation

Excavation may be required for:

• Building foundations

• Building pads

• Driveways

• Septic

• Utilities

• Drainage

Sloped Property

Properties with significant elevation changes may require:

• Cut and fill

• Retaining walls

• Engineered slopes

• Drainage improvements

The appropriate solution depends on the project design and site conditions.

Water Management

Drainage deserves special attention on rural properties.

Water can affect:

• Roads

• Foundations

• Slopes

• Septic systems

• Building pads

Proper grading can help direct runoff toward the appropriate drainage system.

Planning the Entire Site

The most effective approach is to plan:

House + driveway + septic + well + utilities + drainage + grading

as one system.

Changing one component after construction begins can affect the others.
