Site Prep & Land Clearing in Naperville

Before a shed, driveway, patio or garage goes in, the ground has to be cleared, leveled and compacted. Good prep is what keeps new work from settling or cracking.

Typical prep jobs

• Clearing brush, overgrowth and small trees from a lot or yard
• Leveling and compacting a base for a shed, garage or patio
• Rough grading and gravel base for a driveway or parking pad
• Cutting in an access path or staging area for other trades
• Moving, spreading and grading topsoil, gravel or fill

Why prep matters

A slab or patio on poorly prepared ground will settle unevenly, and in our climate frost makes it worse. Removing organic material, bringing in the right base and compacting it in layers is what gives new construction a stable footing.

Utilities and access

Underground lines must be marked before any digging. Call 811 (JULIE) at least two full business days ahead. We also check overhead lines and gate width up front so the right machine can get to the work.
