Raw ground to
buildable.
Cleared, stripped, graded and accessed — with a drive the concrete truck can actually get up.
Site prep is the whole sequence: get in, clear, strip topsoil, cut the pad, handle the water and leave a site the next trade can work on.
The access road is the part most often underestimated. A site a loaded concrete truck cannot reach is not a prepared site, whatever the pad looks like.
What you get
- Access road built for loaded trucks
- Clearing and stripping, topsoil stockpiled
- Pad cut and compacted to elevation
- Drainage and erosion control in before the pour
- Utility trenching coordinated with the build
