What this service covers
Excavation & Site Prep
Good site work starts with understanding what needs to happen after the equipment leaves. Storlie Construction prepares residential, commercial, and rural sites with excavation, filling, grading, and cleanup services supported by our own material supply and hauling capability.
Fill and grade
Coordinate suitable fill and aggregate with grading work rather than separating the material from the equipment.
Clean up the site
Plan for the unwanted material and final condition as part of the scope from the beginning.
A practical fit for
Common project needs
- New construction site preparation
- Filling and rough grading
- Access and work-area preparation

One Coordinated Crew
Equipment, material, and hauling can work as one plan.
Site preparation often involves more than moving dirt. When aggregate or fill is needed, and when unwanted material needs to leave, the Storlie team can account for those moves while scoping the excavation work.
