Grading & Earthwork

Every build starts with solid ground

Pads, slopes and finished grades.

Every successful build starts with solid ground. Grading and earthwork set the pad, the slopes and the finished grades that every trade after us depends on, and on a mountain site that work has to account for water, slope and soil together.

Plumb handles excavation, rough grading, finish grading, house pads, building pads, cut and fill, slope correction, erosion repair, land reclamation and general machine work.

Steep ground. Solid pads.

Grades set with the drainage in mind keep water moving away from the pad, the driveway and the foundation.

Common questions

What people ask about Grading & Earthwork

Water, slope, soil and access all work together on mountain property. Grades set with the drainage in mind keep water moving away from the pad, the driveway and the foundation.

Traditional blasting is not always practical around homes, wells, utilities or septic systems. Non-explosive rock breaking, sometimes called smokeless dynamite, splits rock with far less vibration and no conventional blast, to make room for a driveway, a wider road, drainage, utilities or a building site.
