Clear and Level Your Land for Construction

Complete site preparation and land clearing services in Wenatchee for residential and commercial builds.

Before you can pour a foundation or lay a driveway in Wenatchee, the land needs to be cleared of trees, brush, and debris, then graded to the right elevation and slope. If the site is not prepared correctly, you risk drainage problems, uneven settling, or delays when the builder arrives. FG Excavation LLC handles site prep from start to finish, removing vegetation and obstacles while protecting the areas you want to keep untouched. The crew is familiar with the hillsides and seasonal weather patterns in Wenatchee, so your lot is ready to support long-term construction.

This service includes clearing trees and brush, grading and leveling the surface, and removing debris from the site. Whether you are preparing a lot for a new home, a shop building, a commercial pad, or a driveway, the process begins with an evaluation of the terrain and drainage needs. The crew uses equipment suited to the size and slope of your property, and work is planned to minimize impact on surrounding trees, fences, or neighboring land. Both planned projects and urgent site needs are supported.

How the Site is Cleared and Graded

Site preparation in Wenatchee starts with marking the boundaries and identifying what needs to be removed and what stays. The crew clears trees, stumps, brush, and rocks, then hauls away or redistributes the material depending on your preference. Once the surface is cleared, grading equipment levels the pad and sets the slope to direct water away from where the building or driveway will sit.

When the work is done, you will see a clean, level surface that matches the dimensions and elevations required by your builder or site plan. The ground will be compacted where needed, and drainage will be directed to prevent pooling or erosion during rain or snowmelt.

The crew coordinates timing with other trades and can adjust the scope if conditions change during clearing. This service does not include building construction, paving, or final landscaping, but it prepares the site so those phases can proceed without setbacks or rework.

What to Know Before Clearing Begins

Property owners in Wenatchee often ask similar questions before clearing and grading begins, especially when the lot includes slopes, mature trees, or unclear property lines.

What is removed during land clearing?
The crew removes trees, stumps, brush, roots, rocks, and debris from the area marked for construction or access. Vegetation outside the work zone is left untouched unless you request otherwise.
How does grading prevent future drainage problems?
Proper grading creates a slope that directs water away from structures and prevents pooling near foundations or driveways. Without correct grading, water can collect during storms or snowmelt and cause erosion, settling, or foundation damage over time.
How long does site prep take for a residential lot?
Most residential lots are cleared and graded in two to five days, depending on the size of the area, the amount of vegetation, and access for equipment. Larger or more complex sites may take longer, and the crew provides an estimate after visiting your property.
What happens to the trees and debris after clearing?
Debris can be hauled off-site, chipped for mulch, or stacked on your property if you want to use it for firewood or other purposes. You choose what works best for your project and budget.
Why is site prep important before construction starts?
Site prep ensures the ground is level, stable, and properly drained before heavy equipment or building materials arrive. Skipping this step can lead to uneven foundations, drainage issues, and costly delays once construction begins.
