Meadow Vista, Auburn, Applegate...
We focus exclusively on local projects in Placer County and the surrounding foothills. Staying local means we can provide the specialized terrain expertise and responsive communication your build deserves.
Turning raw land into a build-ready homesite. This includes clearing, rough grading, access planning, and prepping the property so your builder can start on solid ground.
Complete septic installs for new builds, plus replacements for failing or outdated systems. Davidson handles the excavation, proper placement, and coordination needed to get your system set up right and working reliably.
Professional trenching and installation for underground utility lines, including water service, sewer connections, and storm drainage. Everything is laid out for long-term performance and easier inspection approval.
Creating a stable, level pad where your home, garage, shop, or ADU will sit. Pads are built for proper compaction and drainage, helping prevent settling and future issues.
From new driveways to private roads, Davidson builds clean, durable access that holds up over time. This can include base prep, grading, drainage, and tie-ins so water doesn’t wreck your hard work later.
Shaping and leveling your land to match the plan — whether that’s for a new home, shop, driveway, or drainage flow. Good grading sets the foundation for everything that comes next.
Solving water problems before they become expensive problems. This includes trenching for drainage lines, culverts, downspout routing, and runoff control to help protect your property from erosion and pooling.
