Site Preparation & Grading
Excavation, cut and fill, subgrade prep, and compaction. We set elevations and drainage falls before anything is built on top of them. Everything above ground inherits whatever the grade got wrong.
We grade, build, plant, and drain on one contract and one sequenced schedule. Homeowners get work that still reads right in ten years. General contractors get a sub who hits the date, holds the elevation, and leaves the site clean.
Excavation, cut and fill, subgrade prep, and compaction. We set elevations and drainage falls before anything is built on top of them. Everything above ground inherits whatever the grade got wrong.
Flagstone, natural stone, pavers, and segmental retaining walls. Built on engineered base depths with proper compaction and edge restraint, so joints stay tight and walls stay plumb through Front Range freeze-thaw.
Planting built around Colorado soil, exposure, and water reality. Amended beds, spacing set for mature size, sod and seed on prepared subgrade. Specimen trees are placed on site, not on paper.
Positive drainage, French drains, dry wells, and catch basins sized to the contributing area. Irrigation zoned by water requirement and pressure-tested before backfill.
We walk the property and shoot grades before anything gets priced. Utilities, access, setbacks, soil, and where the water actually goes. You get a scope built from measurements.
Materials are sourced and staged ahead of mobilization. Stone, plant material, and aggregate are confirmed against real lead times. The schedule is sequenced so no trade waits on another.
One point of contact runs the job. Subcontractors work to our sequence and our standard. You get progress on a set cadence.
We walk the finished work with you and clear the punch list. Irrigation zoning, plant schedules, and maintenance requirements are handed over in writing.
They need someone to find what went wrong and put it right. Water running the wrong way. Beds that swallowed the edge years ago. Turf that was never given a chance at the subgrade.
Bringing a property back is most of what we do, and it is usually cheaper than a client expects. We will tell you when a full rebuild is the honest answer — and we will tell you when it isn’t.
Base depths, compaction, and drainage falls are specified before we break ground and verified as we build. Walls get proper drainage and geogrid where the load calls for it.
We source from established Front Range suppliers and tell you what we're installing and why. If a specified material won't perform on your site, you hear it in preconstruction.
One point of contact, a schedule with real dates, and a call when something changes. We would rather give you bad news early than a surprise on the invoice.
The number comes off measurements and current material cost, not off the car in the driveway. Ask what a line item is for and you will get a straight answer.
Colorado water is not free and not guaranteed. We size irrigation to what the plants actually need, and we will suggest low-water planting where it will still look the way you want.
Materials staged, debris hauled, access kept open. On an occupied property that's courtesy. On an active jobsite it's how nobody gets hurt and no other trade loses a day.
We measure the site, shoot the grades, and put a scope together you can hold us to.
