Building Pad Preparation in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Yes, we prepare pads on sloped Rancho Santa Fe lots using cut-and-fill or cut-and-export methods based on your site grade and engineering plans. Our crews grade to the elevations your civil engineer specifies so the pad meets approval requirements.

Pad preparation includes site clearing, rough grading, soil compaction, and finish grading to the elevations shown on your approved plans. In Rancho Santa Fe, we also address drainage slope so water moves away from the pad surface.

Rancho Santa Fe has clay-rich soils in valley areas that expand and contract with moisture, which can shift an improperly prepared pad. We remove unsuitable surface material and compact the subgrade in layers to create a stable bearing surface.

Yes, we work directly from your engineer's grading plans to hit the required cut depths, fill heights, and finish elevations. This keeps your Rancho Santa Fe project on track for rough grading certification.
