What we do
Rough and finish grading, land clearing and brush removal, stump and debris haul-off, lot preparation for new construction, gravel driveway and parking pad construction, and cut-and-fill to make a usable flat area out of a sloped yard.
We run equipment sized for residential lots and gated side yards, which matters more than raw machine capacity — a large excavator that cannot reach your back yard is no use to you.
Gravel driveways that hold up
A gravel drive that potholes and rutted out was built as a single layer of decorative rock on soft ground. A durable one is built like a road: geotextile over the subgrade, a compacted structural base course of crushed rock, and a top course sized for the traffic. On our clay, the fabric layer is what stops the rock from slowly disappearing into the mud.

Grading & Excavation: common questions
Do I need a permit to grade my yard?
Small residential grading is usually exempt, but Clark County and its cities set thresholds based on volume of material moved, slope steepness, and proximity to critical areas, streams and steep-slope hazard zones. Larger cut-and-fill jobs frequently do need a permit. We will flag it during the walkthrough.
Can you get equipment into my back yard?
Usually. We run compact equipment that fits through most side yard gates. If access is genuinely impossible we will tell you before quoting, because hand-digging changes the price substantially and you deserve to know that up front rather than as a change order.
What do you do with the dirt you dig out?
We haul it off and dispose of it properly, and that cost is included in the written quote. If you want spoils kept on site to build up a berm or fill a low area, we can do that instead and it usually saves money.
