SITE PREP FOR SUCCESS

GROUNDBREAKING

For every phase of our Getaway, we built upon the successful completion of the project before it. Site prep helps launch them all. Celebrate this literal groundbreaking. It’s a big step—and you have a lot of work ahead.

CLEARING THE SITE

Begin your site preparation by clearing the property of trees, roots, and rocks—materials that will interfere with the building. We knew our property contained no underground utility lines, like gas and electricity. You need to know that it’s safe to dig on your site.

Early in this process, we anticipated our site’s logistical challenges for driving heavy equipment and worker parking. Our narrow driveway was surrounded by woods. And much of the nonwooded land was soft during our early spring start. We knew we had just enough space for the excavator and dump truck to work on-site and remove any waste. You’ll need to know which vehicles can be driven on what soil and where you can store equipment and materials.
