S&K GRADINGGENERAL ENGINEERING
A house is only as good as the pad under it. S&K Grading cuts precision building pads to your plans: cleared, cut and filled, moisture-conditioned and compacted, ready for your soils engineer to sign off and your builder to break ground.
Every pad starts with a walk of the lot. We look at slope, soil, drainage and access, then grade to the elevations on your plans: clearing and grubbing, cut and fill, moisture conditioning and compaction in lifts. When we leave, the pad sits where the plans say it should, with water draining away from it, not into it.
Anza, Garner Valley and the surrounding high country are not flat-lot suburbia. Decomposed granite, rock, and sloped parcels are normal here, and we have spent four decades building pads on exactly this ground. Hillside cut-and-fill pads, tight-access lots, and remote parcels are the jobs we know best.
It depends on the cut and fill volume, rock, slope and access, which is why we quote after walking the lot, not over the phone. Call (909) 228-1044 and we will walk it with you and shoot you straight. No games, no padded numbers.
We grade the pad to your engineered plans and compact in lifts, then work directly with your soils engineer, who performs the compaction testing and issues the certification your permit requires. That is the standard process in Riverside County, and we have run it for 40+ years.
Yes. Hillside pads are normal work for us: we cut into the slope, place and compact engineered fill, and stabilize the transitions. Most of the pads we build around Anza and Temecula involve real terrain, not flat ground.
Tell us about your lot, your timeline, and what you're building. We'll shoot you straight.
