Earthwork & Site Grading

From raw ground to finished grade, we move dirt at scale. GPS-guided dozers, owned articulated truck fleets, and crews who understand site work — building pads, parking lots, road subgrade, and mass cut/fill built to spec.

Earthwork & Site Grading — Heavy civil earthmoving for site development, roadways, and industrial pad construction throughout the St. Louis area.
Poor subgrade?

When the soil under a pad or road won't pass proof roll, the choice is to treat it in place or undercut it. Read our lime vs. cement vs. undercut guide, see our soil stabilization and full-depth reclamation work, or visit our page for civil & geotechnical engineers.

Public earthwork example: our levee raise and widening for the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee District.
