Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for excavation work in Lebanon?

Yes. All residential building permits in Lebanon require an approved Plot Plan as of March 1, 2024, and most excavation work is part of that process. We handle plot plan coordination and code compliance; the city reviews and approves before we dig.

How long does site grading and prep usually take?

Timelines depend on lot size, soil conditions, and weather. A typical residential pad in Five Oaks takes 3–7 days. We provide a quote schedule upfront and keep you posted on any weather delays. Our goal is predictability.

What if there's rock or utilities I didn't know about?

We always call for utility locates before breaking ground and do a thorough site survey. If we hit unexpected rock or utilities, we notify you immediately and adjust the plan. No surprises—just solutions.

Do you handle stormwater and drainage design?

Yes. We assess drainage patterns, establish proper slopes, and work with engineers to meet Lebanon's stormwater requirements. Good drainage protects your foundation and passes city inspection.

Can you work around existing structures or trees I want to keep?

Absolutely. We mark protected areas on the site plan and operate carefully around them. Tell us what stays, and we'll plan equipment routes and grading to preserve it.

How do you ensure soil meets compaction standards?

We use compaction testing equipment and follow engineered density requirements from your builder or engineer. Every fill is tested and certified before we move on. You get documentation for your records and inspections.
