Prepare Your Site the Right Way — From the Ground Up

Proper site preparation is the foundation of any successful build. At John Marr Bobcat Excavation, we provide complete site prep services to ensure your land is cleared, graded, stable, and ready for construction.

From small residential projects to farm and commercial sites, we prepare land for long-term performance—not shortcuts.

What Site Preparation Includes

Our site preparation services are designed to create a stable, well-drained base for whatever comes next.

• Land Clearing – Remove brush, trees, debris, and overgrowth

• Grading & Earth Shaping – Establish proper elevation and water flow

• Soil Stabilization – Prepare subgrade to prevent settling or failure

• Gravel Integration – Install gravel where needed for strength and drainage

• Drainage Planning – Control runoff and protect surrounding land

The Role of Gravel in Site Preparation

Gravel is often a critical part of proper site prep:

• Foundation Stability – Creates a solid, compacted base

• Drainage Control – Prevents standing water and soft ground

• Erosion Protection – Reduces washouts and soil loss

• Versatile Use – Ideal for pads, access areas, and utility zones

We use gravel strategically—only where it improves performance.
