Site prep
We clear the lot, do the earthwork, set the drainage and cut in the access so your builder can start as soon as they get there.
We take care of the whole sequence: clearing, stripping topsoil, rough grading, cutting in access, setting drainage and shaping the pad. You don’t have to line up three different crews before your builder can start.
The goal is a stable, well-drained site with a construction entrance that holds up to trucks and a pad that’s graded and compacted to plan.
What’s included
- Lot clearing and stump removal
- Topsoil stripping and stockpiling
- House, shop and barn pads
- Construction entrances and access roads
- Erosion control basics (silt fence, stone)
- Drainage layout and culverts

Site prep questions
Can you build a pad for a shop or barn?
Yes. We clear, level and compact pads for homes, shops, barns, garages and other buildings, with the pad sized and sloped for the structure going on it.
Do I need permits for site prep?
Requirements vary by county and by how much land is disturbed. We can tell you what’s typically needed for your project, but permits are the property owner’s or builder’s responsibility.
Can you work from my builder’s site plan?
Yes. Send it with your estimate request and we’ll price the work off the plan.
