Excavation and Site Prep
Excavation is where a project either starts clean or turns into a long list of fixes. Around Duvall and Carnation, we see a lot of properties with soft shoulders, water moving through low spots, and ground that changes fast from one end of a lot to the other. We handle the digging, shaping, and base prep that makes the next step possible, whether that's a build, a shop pad, a driveway rebuild, or getting a wooded lot under control.
- Site cuts and excavation for pads, access, and property improvements
- Rough grading to get surfaces moving water the right direction
- Trenching support for utilities and drainage related installs
- Cleanup and shaping so the area is usable, not just dug out
- Straightforward communication from an owner-operated operator
A quick example we run into often is driveway access that looks fine in summer, then turns into a muddy mess after a week of rain. The fix is usually not complicated, but it does require doing the base and drainage correctly so you're not paying for the same repair again next winter.
Land Clearing and Brush Cutting
Eastside lots can get out of hand fast, especially when you're dealing with thick brush, blackberry, and second growth along fence lines and access roads. We provide land clearing, brush cutting, and mulching style work to open up property, improve access, and prep areas for a future build or improvement project.
- Clearing for building areas, shop pads, and expanded yard space
- Brush cutting and cleanup for overgrown lots and access paths
- Selective clearing that keeps the work zone tight and intentional
- Haul off and material management when needed
- Practical recommendations based on what you want the property to become
If you've got a rural driveway or a long access path, clearing is often as much about visibility and safe turnaround space as it is about looks. We plan the approach so you end up with usable space and not a pile of surprises.
Grading, Driveways, and Drainage
If there's one thing Duvall property owners deal with year after year, it's water. Drainage and grading issues show up as puddles that never go away, gravel that migrates, soft spots in driveways, and runoff that heads toward structures. We handle grading, driveway work, and drainage improvements with an eye on how the property behaves during the wet season.
- Driveway installs, regrades, and base rebuilds for private roads
- Reworking low spots and shaping grade to move water away from problem areas
- Drainage trenching and support for swales and runoff control
- Rock, gravel, and base delivery coordinated with the job plan
- Finished surfaces that are practical for daily use, not just “good enough”
In our experience, most driveway failures happen because the water problem was never addressed first. We prefer to solve the cause, then rebuild the surface so it holds up.

Tell us what you're working on and where the property is. Photos help. We'll give you a clear plan, a realistic range, and a schedule that makes sense.
Material Delivery and Property Support
Sometimes you already have a plan, you just need the material delivered and placed intelligently. We deliver common project materials and help with placement so your build, driveway, or drainage work goes smoother.
- Gravel, base rock, and driveway materials delivered with access in mind
- Material staging to keep the job site clean and workable
- Small equipment support for ongoing property improvements
- Straight answers on quantities and what makes sense for your use case
- Coordination with your contractor when needed
On tighter Duvall lots or rural driveways, placement is everything. We take a minute to think through where trucks can turn around and where material should go so you are not fighting piles in the wrong spot later.
