Preparation is Key
Site Preparation and Grading.
We begin with the basics – but we do them with unmatched precision. Slimdor handles site clearing and grading for everything from new subdivisions to industrial facilities, ensuring each site is prepped to meet engineering specs and municipal requirements.
- Topsoil stripping and placement
- Site grading (commercial developments to interchanges)
- Common excavation
- Temporary access roads and haul routes
- Excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated materials
Our crews work efficiently with minimal environmental disturbance, preparing your site for foundations, utilities, and surface works.
Driving Projects Forward
Structural Excavation and Backfill.
Whether it’s footings, vaults, or full-service utility corridors, we provide safe, precise excavation with the proper shoring, dewatering, and compaction practices to keep your job moving.
We specialize in:
- Shallow utility trenching
- Strip footings
- Slab on grade preparation
No matter how tight the access or how difficult the subgrade, our teams bring the right machines, materials, and methods to get it done right.
