What is included in site work?

Site work usually includes clearing, grading, excavation, drainage prep, soil leveling, and preparing the ground for construction or landscaping. At 616 Custom Construction, we tailor the scope to your property so the base is stable, properly sloped, and ready for the next phase.

How do I know if my property needs professional site work?

If your yard has poor drainage, uneven ground, standing water, erosion, or needs prep for a new patio, driveway, retaining wall, or build, professional site work is a smart first step. We can assess the site and recommend the right approach before bigger problems develop.

How long does site work usually take?

The timeline depends on the size of the property, soil conditions, weather, access, and the amount of grading or excavation needed. Some jobs take a day or two, while larger or more complex projects take longer. We give you a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the job.

Will site work help with drainage problems?

Yes, in many cases site work is the key to fixing drainage issues. Proper grading, drainage planning, and water management can move water away from your home, hardscapes, and problem areas. We look at the full layout of your property so the solution works long term.

Do you handle permits and planning if needed?

If your project requires permits or site planning, we will let you know early in the process and help guide the next steps. Every property and township is different, so we make sure the work is planned correctly and done in line with local requirements.

Why should I hire 616 Custom Construction for site work?

Site work has to be done right or the rest of the project can suffer. We bring hands-on experience, careful equipment work, and a practical plan built around your property. If you want a solid start and fewer headaches later, contact 616 Custom Construction to schedule an estimate.

Site Work Services | 616 Custom Construction

Good site work is the foundation of a successful outdoor project. At 616 Custom Construction, we handle the ground preparation that needs to happen before patios, retaining walls, driveways, grading, drainage systems, and other landscape construction features can be built. When the base is done right, everything above it performs better, lasts longer, and looks cleaner.

Our site work service can include clearing, rough grading, finish grading, excavation, soil removal, base prep, and drainage correction. We shape the land to support the project, manage water flow, and create a stable surface for construction. This step is important for both appearance and performance. Poor grading can lead to standing water, erosion, settling, and premature failure of hardscape or landscape features.

We start by looking at the property layout, slope, access, soil conditions, and the goals of the project. From there, we plan the right approach for excavation and grading. If a site needs to be built up, cut down, leveled, or reshaped, we make sure those changes support proper drainage and long-term stability. We also pay close attention to how the finished site will connect with existing lawns, planting beds, structures, and paved areas.

For many projects, site work also includes preparing a strong sub-base. That may involve compacting soil, installing aggregate base materials, and creating the depth needed for pavers, concrete, or other landscape construction elements. A properly prepared base helps prevent shifting, cracking, rutting, and uneven surfaces over time.

Every property is different, so we tailor our site work to the conditions on site. Our goal is to solve problems before they become expensive repairs later. Whether you are starting a new landscape installation, correcting drainage issues, or preparing for a larger outdoor upgrade, we bring the equipment, planning, and hands-on experience needed to get the site ready the right way.

If you want a project built on solid ground, we are ready to help. Contact 616 Custom Construction to talk about your site work needs and schedule a consultation.

At 616 Custom Construction, we keep site work simple, organized, and built around your project goals. Our process helps prevent delays, protects your investment, and gives you a clean, solid base for the next phase of construction.

On-Site Review & Project Planning

We start with a site visit to review grades, drainage patterns, access, soil conditions, and the full scope of work. Then we build a clear plan, timeline, and estimate so you know exactly how the excavation, grading, and prep work will move forward.

Precision Site Prep & Earthwork

Once approved, we schedule the job and complete clearing, rough grading, excavation, and base preparation with the right equipment for the site. We work carefully to manage water flow, elevation, and compaction so the property is ready for the next phase and built to last.

Final Grading & Walkthrough

Before we wrap up, we fine-tune final grades, clean the work area, and check that the site matches the approved plan and drainage goals. We walk the project with you, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident in the finished site work before we call it complete.
