Scope of work · Stationed in build order
A site runs in one direction. So does this page.
These are the phases of a civil package in the order they actually get built. We self-perform every one of them, which is why the handoffs between them never cost you a week.
Survey & layout
Control set, existing conditions verified against the plans, and the discrepancies flagged before a machine turns dirt.
Clearing & demolition
Trees, brush, slabs, foundations and abandoned utilities out. Topsoil stripped and stockpiled for reuse instead of hauled off and bought back.
Mass excavation & grading
The phase that makes or breaks the budget. We balance the site on paper first, then run GPS machine control to hit grade the first time.
Underground wet utilities
Sanitary and water installed to municipal spec, tested, televised and accepted. Deep trench, shoring and dewatering handled in house.
Storm drainage & detention
Every civil site is ultimately a water problem. We build the system that keeps the pad dry and the drainage study true.
Subgrade & aggregate base
Proof rolled, stabilized and tested before base goes down, because everything above it inherits whatever you leave here.
Concrete & paving
Drives, fire lanes, parking, walks and roadway — placed to line and grade, jointed correctly, and poured so the water goes where the plan says.
Erosion control & SWPPP
Installed on day one, maintained through the job, and documented — so the inspection is a formality instead of a fine.
Final grade & closeout
Punch walked with you, as-builts delivered, site cleaned. We leave when the owner accepts it, not when the schedule says we should.
Owned iron · No rental schedule to wait on
The fleet is ours, so the schedule is ours
| Dozers | Grade and spread, GPS-equipped |
| Excavators | Mass excavation through deep trench |
| Mini excavators | Tight-access and utility tie-ins |
| Motor graders | Base, subgrade and roadway finish |
| Scrapers | High-volume cut-to-fill hauling |
| Articulated haul trucks | Off-road material movement |
| Track skid steers | Backfill, trenching, cleanup |
| Rollers & compactors | Sheepsfoot, smooth drum, plate |
| Dump trucks & belly dumps | Import, export and hauling |
| Trench boxes & shoring | Depth work, OSHA compliant |
Renting means waiting on someone else’s yard. We carry the machines the work actually requires, maintained on our own schedule, so a delivery date never becomes your delay.
GPS machine control
Models built from your civil drawings and loaded to the blade. Fewer passes, less rework, and grade you can verify against the design surface instead of a stake and a guess.
Who we work for
Markets
Retail centers, restaurants, office, medical and mixed-use pads with full utility and paving packages.
Warehouse and distribution sites, truck courts, heavy pavement sections and large-volume earthwork.
Public bid work: streets, drainage improvements, water and sewer mains, parks and civic sites.
Subdivision sitework, lot grading, street and utility installation for builders and developers.
Schools, churches and campuses, phased around occupied buildings and the academic calendar.
Access roads, pads, laydown yards and drainage for facilities outside the city limits.
