Coos Bay Home, Garage & ADU Build Pads

If you are building on your own lot, the site work is usually your responsibility, not the builder's. On-your-lot builders like HiLine Homes hand you a list of excavation contractors and leave the pads to you. This is what that job actually looks like. This Fulton Avenue property started out as basically woods. We cleared the brush and timber, hauled off the debris, and cut the lot to grade - balancing the terrain so the pads sit right and the water runs where it should. Then we compacted pads for a house, a garage and an ADU, so each one has something solid underneath it that will not settle once it is built on. Drainage on the Oregon coast is not optional, so the same job included 400 feet of flat-bottom french drain around the whole project. Landscape fabric, gravel base, perforated pipe nested in more gravel, fabric wrapped over the top, backfilled and graded clean. That is what keeps water out from under the new buildings through a wet winter. The owner ended up with level, compacted, well-drained pads the builder could start on, and a yard that stays dry. Backfill and rain drains for the site are still to come. Building on your own lot in Coos County? We do pads, footings, backfill and driveways for new home, garage and ADU builds. Give us a call before you pick a contractor off the list.
