What Site Prep Includes

  • Clearing and grubbing: trees, stumps, root mats and undergrowth
  • Topsoil stripping and stockpiling for reuse at finish grade
  • Cut and fill to bring the lot to plan elevation
  • Building pad construction, compacted and proof-rolled
  • Silt fence, inlet protection and erosion and sediment control
  • Construction entrance and temporary access
  • Rough grade handed off ready for the footing crew

Built Around Your Schedule

Site prep is the first trade in and the one everybody else waits on. We coordinate with your builder so the pad is ready when the footing crew rolls up, not three days after. If weather or a surprise in the ground is going to move the date, you hear it from us early.

Erosion Control That Passes

Every city in Hampton Roads enforces land disturbance requirements, and an inspector shutting down your site is expensive. We install and maintain silt fence, inlet protection, construction entrances and stabilization to the standard your permit requires.

Compaction You Can Build On

A pad is only worth what it is compacted to. We place fill in lifts, compact each one, and proof-roll before we call it finished. Settlement under a slab is not a problem you want to discover after the concrete is down.
