A buildable site starts before the foundation
Site preparation brings the early pieces together: clearing, access, excavation, grading, drainage and the working area needed by the trades that follow. The goal is not simply to move dirt. It is to leave a site that matches the plans and can be worked safely and efficiently.
For Canby projects, we pay close attention to wet-season access and where exposed soil will drain. A site can look fine in August and tell a very different story after a week of rain. Planning haul routes, staging areas and runoff control ahead of time keeps the project moving.
TALK THROUGH THE SITE
Site Preparation scope
- Residential and light commercial site preparation
- Building and shop pads
- Access roads and construction entrances
- Clearing and rough grading
- Utility trench and drainage coordination
Every property is different. The estimate should spell out access, excavation, material, hauling, compaction, restoration and any work handled by another licensed trade. That gives you a number you can actually use.
Plan around water, access and approvals
Projects that affect public infrastructure, larger areas of soil or sensitive locations can involve City of Canby or Clackamas County engineering, erosion-control or floodplain requirements. We do not guess at those details. We help define the earthwork scope and coordinate with the owner, builder or engineer so the field work follows the approved plan.

Canby site preparation FAQs
When should an excavation contractor join the project?
Early. A site walk before final scheduling can uncover access, drainage and material-handling issues while they are still easy to solve.
Can you prepare a site for a shop or addition?
Yes. We can review the excavation, pad, access and drainage work needed for residential and light commercial projects.
Do you coordinate with builders and engineers?
Yes. When plans or engineered details apply, we work from those documents and coordinate the earthwork sequence.
