Your Local Excavation Contractor in Paradise
Paradise sits on a forested ridge between the Butte Creek and Feather River canyons. Since the 2018 Camp Fire, much of the work here has been about two things: getting lots ready to rebuild, and keeping vegetation under control so it does not carry fire toward a home again.
On rebuild lots we clear what is left, take down dead or damaged trees, and grade a solid pad with good drainage for the new foundation. Many lots are sloped, so we plan cuts, fill, and retaining walls where the grade calls for them.
For standing homes, we cut back brush, thin fuel, and clear defensible space around the structure. California's standard calls for up to 100 feet of managed vegetation around buildings in fire hazard areas, and we can help you work toward it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you prepare my Paradise lot for rebuilding?
Yes. We clear remaining debris and vegetation, remove hazard trees, and grade a stable, well-drained building pad.
How much defensible space do I need?
California's general standard for fire hazard areas is up to 100 feet around structures, with the closest zone kept the leanest. Check with the Town of Paradise for current local requirements, and we can do the clearing.
Do you remove dead or burned trees?
Yes. Hazard Tree Removal is one of our core services, and it is often the first step on a Paradise property.
Can you build retaining walls on a sloped lot?
Yes. We build hardscaping and retaining walls to hold grade and control erosion.
