Excavation and Site Work Services in Granite Bay, CA

We offer four core services for Granite Bay and Placer County property owners. Each service page has a free cost calculator so you can get a price estimate before you call.

Land Clearing & Defensible Space

Dry brush and overgrown lots create fire risk on Granite Bay hillside properties. Our team removes brush, grinds trees with forestry mulching equipment, and prepares your lot to meet CAL FIRE defensible space rules. We also pull full root balls so future settling and sinkhole problems do not occur.

Foundation Excavation and Building Pads

Building a home, ADU, garage, or shop in Placer County starts with a level, compacted pad. We use laser-guided grading to cut your pad to exact tolerances. Next, we run layered compaction tests so your builder can pour concrete with confidence. We also handle hillside cut-and-fill terracing for sloped Granite Bay lots.

Underground Utility
Trenching

We dig trenches for water lines, sewer laterals, PG&E electrical conduit, septic leach fields, and telecom sleeves. We call 811 before every dig to locate buried lines. Also, we coordinate with Placer County inspectors to make sure each trench passes on the first inspection.

Drainage Pond and Stormwater Excavation

Granite Bay hillside lots pool water after heavy rain. We excavate retention ponds, detention basins, French drain systems, and vegetated swales to move runoff away from your home and foundation. This means less erosion, less pooling, and less repair cost over time.

Why Granite Bay Property Owners Choose Pina Excavating

Pina Excavating is a family-owned company. The same team that answers your call shows up on your job site. We do not use subcontractors for excavation work. Here is what sets us apart from other Placer County contractors:

50 Years of Experience

We have worked Granite Bay's decomposed granite hillsides, clay-heavy valley parcels, and rocky foothill lots for decades. No terrain in this region is new to us.

Dual CSLB Licensure

We carry a C-21 (Building Moving and Demolition) and a C-12 (Earthwork and Paving) license. This lets us handle demolition teardowns and precision site grading under one contract. No other excavation contractor in the Granite Bay area combines both licenses.

Free Online Cost Calculators

We built four interactive calculators so you can estimate your project cost before you pick up the phone. No other Granite Bay competitor offers this.
