Site Preparation & Grading
Proper grading isn't just about a flat surface — it's about engineering the land to work with you. Drainage, structural stability, and code compliance all start with the grade.
We use laser levels and grade stakes to achieve precise, engineered slopes that direct water away from structures, prevent erosion, and meet building department requirements. Whether it's a driveway pad, building site, or large commercial development, we grade it right the first time.
What's Included
- Rough grading for new construction sites
- Finish grading for landscaping and sodding
- Pad grading for homes, shops, and outbuildings
- Driveway and access road grading
- Drainage slope design and execution
- Subgrade preparation for concrete and asphalt
- Compaction for structural loads
- Cut-and-fill balancing
Skid Steer Services
When a full-size excavator can't fit, the skid steer takes over. Agile, powerful, and capable of switching attachments in minutes — our skid steer handles material moving, finish grading, demolition cleanup, and precision work in confined spaces.
Perfect for landscaping projects, small lot grading, tight residential areas, and any situation where maneuverability matters more than raw digging power. The skid steer complements our excavator fleet perfectly.
What's Included
- Material moving and stockpiling
- Tight-space excavation and digging
- Concrete slab and debris removal
- Landscape grading and finish work
- Gravel spreading and compaction
- Topsoil spreading
- Demolition cleanup and loading
- Backfill and compaction
Trenching
Clean, accurate trenches are critical for utility installation, irrigation, drainage, and underground infrastructure. We deliver precision trenching at specified depths and widths — every time.
From a simple irrigation line trench on a residential property to deep utility corridors on commercial sites, Peridot Dirtworks has the equipment and expertise to trench through any Oregon soil safely and efficiently. We call 811 before every job, and we work carefully around existing utilities.
What's Included
- Water and sewer line trenching

- French drain and drainage trenching
- Natural gas line trenching
- Fiber and telecom conduit trenches
- Backfill and compaction after installation
- 811 utility locating coordination
