Grading & Site Preparation

Beginning earth work on a new house site, excavator and dozers working together to move the bulk dirt

Prepare your property for what comes next. Sierra General Engineering & Hardscape provides excavation, grading, and site preparation for homesites, driveways, private roads, and property improvements throughout Three Rivers, Visalia, Exeter, and Tulare County.

From extending an existing house pad to opening up a hillside building area, we help turn uneven or difficult ground into usable space. Our projects include house pad construction, hillside excavation, driveway improvements, and finish grading around homes. We consider access, slopes, drainage, and the planned use of the property when defining the work.

Our grading and site preparation services include:

  • House pad construction and pad extensions

  • Rough grading and finish grading

  • Hillside excavation and property improvements

  • Driveway and private access road construction

  • Fill placement, moisture conditioning, and compaction

  • Drainage swales, culverts, and erosion-related grading

  • Land clearing and preparation for construction

A successful site preparation project involves more than moving dirt. Building areas, access roads, and drainage need to work together. We can combine excavation, grading, underground utility work, and boulder retaining walls within the project scope, helping reduce the number of contractors you need to coordinate.

Planning a new build or improving an existing property? Send your project location, intended use, photos, and any available plans. Let us know about steep or narrow access, drainage concerns, and whether material will need to be brought in or hauled away so we can discuss the scope and estimate.

See our Three Rivers driveway reconstruction project, including grading and imported fill.

For related excavation, vegetation removal, and hauling work, see our stormwater basin cleanup in Exeter.
