Excavation and grading FAQ
What is cut and fill? Cut and fill means removing soil from high areas and placing it in low areas to reach the planned grade. Balancing the two on site reduces hauling and export cost.
Do I need an engineer for my grading project? Commercial projects and steep or large sites usually do. Simple residential pads often don't. We can tell you after looking at your site and county or city requirements.
Why does compaction matter? Poorly compacted fill settles over time, which can crack slabs and foundations. We place fill in lifts and compact each one to spec.
Can you work on hillsides? Yes. We handle sloped sites and can build retaining walls where the grade change calls for one.
Have plans or a site that needs leveling?
