Helping You Get the
Site Ready to Build
Site prep is one of the first steps in any construction job. When rock is present, it can slow things down unless it’s properly removed. That’s where we step in. We drill and blast to break up the rock so it can be cleared and your grading or excavation work can begin.
We work on a wide range of site types, including:
- Commercial development sites
- Residential lots
- Municipal or public land projects
Before we begin any work, we assess the location, check for nearby utilities or structures, and build a drilling plan that matches the job’s needs. Whether the site requires a full rock cut or just a small area cleared, we approach each task with the same focus on safety, timing, and results.
A Safe, Effective Process
For most general site prep jobs, we drill holes into the rock at planned depths and spacing. Then, we load and blast in a controlled sequence. This method allows us to break the rock without causing problems in the surrounding area. We plan each shot carefully to stay within the limits of the site.
When blasting isn’t allowed or preferred, we use alternative rock-breaking methods. These involve using expanding agents to split the rock without sound or vibration. This option works well for sensitive areas or smaller projects in residential zones.
Our goal is always to:
- Complete the rock work safely
- Keep the project on track
- Leave the site ready for the next step in development
