Excavation & Grading Services in Chico, CA
Castle Rock Landscaping is a trusted excavation and grading company serving Chico, CA, and surrounding areas. Whether you need trenching, foundation preparation, or drainage solutions, our experienced team ensures your land is properly shaped, stabilized, and ready for its next phase.
Trenching for Utilities & Drainage
Proper trenching is essential for water, power, and drainage systems. As an excavation contractor, we handle precise trenching to ensure utility lines and drainage pipes are properly installed while maintaining land stability. If needed, we can also lay pipes and conduits, or we can coordinate with your plumber or electrician to complete the installation.
French Drains (Underground Drainage Systems)
For properties dealing with excess water buildup, we install French drains, a highly effective underground drainage solution that redirects water away from foundations, driveways, and other structures. This system helps prevent flooding, soil erosion, and water damage while blending seamlessly into the landscape.
Rock Walls & Retaining Walls
We construct retaining walls and rock walls for both functional and decorative purposes. Whether you need erosion control, land stability, or a leveled space for a patio, garden, or driveway, our team ensures durable construction using boulders or retaining wall blocks, depending on the project’s needs.
Rip Rap Installation
Rip rap—large rock material—is used to stabilize slopes, shorelines, and drainage areas. This technique helps prevent soil erosion, control water flow, and protect land from storm damage. It’s a crucial part of land preservation and erosion control, especially in areas prone to heavy runoff.
Gravel Installation
Gravel is a cost-effective and durable solution for driveways, walkways, and drainage areas. We install properly compacted gravel layers to ensure long-lasting surfaces that can withstand heavy use while promoting proper water drainage.
Driveway Construction
As part of our excavation and grading services, we build gravel driveways and access roads from the ground up. Our process includes grading, drainage preparation, and compacting gravel to create a strong and stable surface. While we do not offer asphalt or concrete paving, we ensure the base is solid and properly prepared for long-term use.
Drainage Swales & Erosion Control
For properties with water runoff and erosion issues, we create drainage swales to redirect water away from structures and prevent soil displacement. These natural-looking channels help protect your land, improve water absorption, and reduce standing water problems.
Foundation Preparation & Leveling
A properly prepared foundation is crucial for construction projects such as homes, patios, and backyard structures. We grade, compact, and level the land, ensuring a stable base that is ready for concrete, landscaping, or further development.
Utility Line Installation Preparation
We provide site preparation and trenching for utility lines, including water, sewer, and power installations. If needed, we can also lay pipes and leave properly positioned stub-outs for electricians and plumbers to complete their work.
Access Road Installation
We construct gravel access roads and driveways, ensuring proper grading, compaction, and drainage considerations. Our focus is on building durable surfaces that can handle heavy traffic while maintaining water runoff efficiency.
Garden & Landscape Space Creation
Beyond site preparation, we also assist in final landscaping, including creating level garden spaces, shaping terrain for planting, and installing sod or mulch. This service ensures your land is not only functional but also visually appealing.
