Earthwork

Built for the Northwest

Our Civil & Earthwork team handles everything beneath the finished façade—mass excavation, precision grading, utility trenching, and storm-water controls—so each NW Contour build starts on solid, sustainable ground. From the first pre-construction survey to the final lift of topsoil, we balance craft, safety, and Northwest-specific environmental standards to protect your investment and the land it sits on.

Clearing and Demo

Selective removal of vegetation, structures, and debris prepares the parcel while preserving native soils when possible.

Mass Excavation & Grading

We move earth efficiently to achieve design elevations—cutting high spots, filling low areas, and laser-grading pads within ¼-inch tolerances for slab-ready sites.

Utility Trenching

Code-compliant trenches with engineered shoring and safe egress protect crews and keep inspections painless.

Foundations & Shoring

Expert footing excavation, temporary earth-retention, and taller stem walls where Northwest slopes demand extra clearance.

Fine Grading & Backfill

Precision grading to plan—paired with thorough compaction testing—gives driveways, slabs, and landscaped areas the consistent bearing capacity they need for long-term durability.
