Grade, drainage, compaction
Slope, setback, and where the water goes decide most of what a site costs. None of it is visible once the build is finished — and all of it is what fails first when it's done wrong.
Site work, septic, and everything under the foundation
Septic systems
Installation, repair, and diagnostics. DEQ licensed — including the investigative work that tells you whether you actually need a new system.
Site preparation
Clearing, stripping topsoil, and rough grading to turn a raw lot into something a builder can start on.
Excavation
Foundation and footing excavation, trenching, and utility work — cut to line and grade.
Grading & drainage
Finish grading that moves water away from the structure and holds its slope through a wet spring.
Driveways & access
Base rock, compaction, and crown built for the freeze-thaw cycle we actually get out here.
Demolition
Structure and slab demolition, removal, and site cleanup — down to clean ground.
Land clearing
Tree and brush removal, stump grinding, and defensible-space work around structures.
Snow removal
Seasonal plowing for driveways and private roads. Booking now for winter.
Thirty years of earthwork, most of it at a scale central Oregon rarely sees.
Pit expansions at 13,200 feet. Mine reclamation used as a model internationally. Water reservoirs, wind farms, airport terminals.
SurfaceTek is a new company. The operator running it is not. Before starting SurfaceTek, Toby Witt spent three decades in mining and mine reclamation — work where a grade that doesn't drain, or fill that isn't compacted, has consequences measured in millions rather than thousands. That's the standard the same work gets on a driveway in La Pine.
Most of what goes wrong on a build happened before the foundation went in.
Water that wasn't routed away. Fill that wasn't compacted. A driveway that washes out the first hard winter.
Site work isn't the part anyone sees when the job's done. It's the part that decides whether everything above it holds up. On high desert ground — pumice over rock, hard freezes, runoff with nowhere to go — getting it wrong is expensive, and it shows up years later.
How a bid works
Send the details
Address or tax lot, what you're building, and where you are in permitting. That's enough to know whether we're a fit.
Site walk
We come look. Soil, slope, access, and drainage decide most of the cost, and none of them can be judged from a map.
Written estimate
Scope, exclusions, and what would change the number — in writing, so nothing turns into a surprise at invoice.
Schedule
A realistic start window based on what's actually on the books, not on what you'd like to hear.
Estimates are always free.
