Every ambitious landscape project begins with proper site preparation. In Cle Elum, where rocky soils, sloped terrain, and existing structures often stand between vision and reality, professional excavation and demolition create the blank canvas needed for successful installation.
Sarabia's Landscaping, LLC handles land clearing, grading, and structure removal with equipment and expertise matched to mountain conditions. From removing old sheds to regrading drainage-challenged yards, the work establishes proper foundations for everything that follows.
Professional site grading reduces erosion and drainage problems by 60 to 75 percent compared to ungraded landscapes.
You avoid the costly mistakes that come from building on unprepared ground, ensuring retaining walls sit on solid footings and patios drain away from foundations as intended.
Cle Elum sits at 1,900 feet elevation where the Cascade foothills meet the Kittitas Valley. Properties here feature steep grades, glacial till soils studded with boulders, and drainage patterns shaped by snowmelt and seasonal runoff events that can move serious water.
Excavation work accounts for frost depth requirements, ensuring footings extend below the 36-inch frost line to prevent heaving. Rock removal often requires heavy equipment that smaller operators don't maintain, while grading must balance cut-and-fill to minimize expensive soil import or export.
Proper grading and drainage installation prevents up to 90 percent of foundation moisture issues in new construction.
Demolition of old structures, decks, and concrete slabs creates space for new features while removing eyesores that detract from property value. Contact us today for Excavation and Demolition in Cle Elum that prepares your site for the landscape you've envisioned.
