One Crew, One Contract, Done

“Lot-Prep” Package: Stumping → Stripping → Foundation → Utilities

Juggling three subcontractors can wreck a timeline and inflate costs. Our bundled lot-prep package clears the land, strips topsoil, lasers in grade, and roughs in utilities—all under one PO and a rock-solid, five-to-seven-day schedule. You hand us the plat map, we hand you a permit-ready pad that’s begging for footings.

  • Tree & stump removal, root raking
  • Topsoil stripping & export
  • Pad grading to ± 0.10′ with laser box blade
  • Water, sewer, and electric rough-in trenches

Book your site walk now and see how much time—and money—you save with a true start-to-foundation solution.

Green Yards & Smooth Drives

Lawn & Driveway Restoration (Hydroseed • Asphalt Patch)

Lumpy gravel, cracked asphalt, and bare dirt don’t just hurt curb appeal—they wash out, track mud indoors, and shorten the life of everything built on top. Our restoration crew swoops in after construction or storm damage to laser-grade fresh topsoil, lay hydroseed or sod for instant green, and patch or re-grade driveways so your property looks brand-new the moment we pull away.

  • Hydroseed, sod, or loam lawn installs
  • Gravel re-grade or asphalt patchwork
  • Topsoil delivery & precision raking
  • Rapid germination & 12-month surface guarantee
