  • What is included in the site preparation process?

    Site preparation covers all the necessary steps required to ready a property before construction begins. This typically includes land clearing and "grubbing" (removing trees and brush), demolition of existing structures, earth moving, excavation for foundations or basements, and initial grading to ensure a stable building surface.

  • Why should I hire a professional for excavation and site prep?

    Excavation is complex and potentially dangerous work that requires specialized, expensive machinery. A professional contractor like Scaggs Site Development is trained, bonded, and insured, ensuring that the work is done safely and according to local regulations.

Whether you need a basement dug, a lot cleared of trees, or a consultation on the feasibility of your site, early involvement ensures that the foundation of your project—the ground itself—is properly prepared for a successful build.
