Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about site grading in Lebanon.

How long does site grading typically take?

Timeline depends on property size, soil conditions, and scope. Small residential sites may take 1–3 days; larger commercial projects take 1–2 weeks or more. We'll give you an accurate estimate after the site visit.

Do you handle permits and inspections for grading work?

We coordinate with your contractor and the city. You or your general contractor obtains the grading permit; we perform the work to spec and help prepare the property for inspection.

What if my property has rock or difficult soil?

We're equipped for rock excavation and hard material removal. We operate a full fleet of heavy equipment and can break, extract, and haul rock. Cost and timeline will reflect the difficulty, but we can handle it.

Can you salvage and reuse excavated material?

Yes. If excavated soil is suitable, we can stockpile and reuse it on-site for fill and backfill. This reduces haul costs and keeps material off the landfill. We assess soil quality during the initial site visit.

Do you offer emergency or rush grading jobs?

Yes, we prioritize urgent work when equipment is available. Contact us with your timeline and project details; we'll let you know if we can mobilize quickly.
