Our Services
Grading is how a bare lot in Los Angeles gets ready for what comes next. We cut down the high spots and spread that soil over the low ones. The lot ends up level and close to the grade your plans call for. When the cut leaves more dirt than the lot can hold, our trucks haul it off.
We have been a demolition and hauling contractor in Los Angeles since 1994. Greg owns the company and runs three crews with our own trucks and skid steers. Grading is the step that follows a tear out, so the machines are already on the lot. The same visit that clears the ground can leave it level and ready to build on.

Rough grading means moving dirt around the lot until the ground sits where you need it. On a backyard job that can mean cutting a couple of feet off the high side. We spread that soil across the rest of the yard so the ground runs flat. This kind of site prep is usually the last dirt work before forms and footings go in.
Lot leveling after a house demolition is the most common version of this. The building is gone and the ground is left rough, with ruts where the walls came out. The pad needs shape before anything new gets built on it. The same site prep happens after a lot cleanup clears the ground and the lot sits empty.
We dig trenches for utility lines and for footings on houses and small builds. That covers water, sewer, gas, power and drain lines running out from the house. Depth and width follow the plans or whatever the inspector calls for. A skid steer with a bucket opens most of it, and hand work cleans up the tight spots.
Trenching on Westside lots gets tricky, because the yards are small and the access is narrow. Our compact machines fit through side gates that a full size excavator cannot. We open the line and keep the spoil clear of the work area. Backfill happens once the line passes inspection, and the extra soil leaves in our truck.
Our truck yard sits in the South Bay, so most of our grading work runs from there. On the Westside we grade lots in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. In the South Bay we cover Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and San Pedro, down to Long Beach. The full list of cities is on our service areas page.
Our crews have worked Los Angeles lots since 1994, including cleanup after the Palisades fire. Many of the homes we work on are private, and our crews keep it that way. We hold California contractors license 792182 and carry insurance. Call 310-546-4855 for a free estimate on your lot.

Tell us what needs to come down, come out or get hauled off. A few photos help. We cover the Westside and South Bay, Beverly Hills to Long Beach.
The owner prices the job at the property, free. He checks the structure, the access and where the trucks will sit, then gives you one number for the whole job.
Three crews, our own trucks and skid steers. The teardown, the loading and the hauling stay with one company, so the schedule holds.
Debris goes out on our trucks to licensed facilities. We sweep the street, clear the drive and leave the property ready for whatever comes next.

We gut kitchens, bathrooms, walls and floors inside homes that are staying up. Everything you keep gets covered first, and the debris leaves on our own trucks instead of sitting in a bin out front.

We break out old driveways, patios, pool decks and slabs anywhere in Los Angeles. Our own trucks haul the broken concrete to a certified recycling facility, so removal and disposal are one job.

We load and haul away furniture, appliances, mattresses and hot tubs anywhere in Los Angeles. Our hauling services run out of a demolition company, so heavy and awkward loads are normal work for us.

We empty entire properties and haul everything away in our own trucks. Estates, garages, foreclosures and rentals get left broom-clean and ready for the next step.

We haul construction and renovation debris off jobsites and properties across Los Angeles. One clear-out at the end of a build, or repeat pulls while the work runs.

Our own trucks and skid steers do the loading and the hauling. Debris leaves on our schedule, not a bin company's. The teardown and the haul-off are one job and one price.
Twenty years of City of Los Angeles contracts clearing foreclosed and vacant properties. That work runs on deadlines and documentation, and the habit stuck. Sites get finished, not abandoned.
Much of our work sits behind gates on the Westside, and NDAs are routine. Crews park where you say, keep the site tidy and do not talk about whose property they are on.
A house that needs to come down, a garage full of junk, a lot that needs clearing? Call or send the form and we will look at the job with you and price the whole thing, teardown through haul-off. The estimate is free.
