Overview

A project is only as good as the ground it's built on. G & D Construction provides site preparation and excavation for residential, commercial and government projects in Lanham and across Prince George's County, from clearing and demolition to grading, gravel and final cleanup.

Site conditions affect every phase that comes after, so we plan the groundwork alongside the construction it supports. We look at access, grades, drainage and existing structures before work begins, and we can help coordinate permits and engineering when the project requires them. Keeping it all with one contractor keeps the project moving.

Site Preparation services

Excavation, Demolition & Structure Removal

Before anything new is built, the ground has to be cleared and opened up. We excavate for footings, foundations and utilities, demolish old structures and remove existing concrete, sheds and other obstacles safely.

Construction Debris Removal & Disposal

Construction and demolition leave behind broken concrete, old lumber, block and other debris. We haul it away and dispose of it properly, leaving your site clean, safe and ready for the work ahead.

Gravel & Aggregate Placement

A compacted gravel base keeps concrete, pavers and driveways from settling or cracking. We spread and compact crushed stone and aggregate for slabs, footings, drainage and gravel driveways, graded to shed water properly.

Topsoil & Mulch

Once construction wraps up, the ground around it needs to be restored. We spread and grade topsoil for new lawns and planting beds and lay mulch to finish the landscape and control erosion.

Our process

How the job goes

  1. Review the project and site

    The work begins by looking at the project scope, the existing site, access, and the preparation needed for the next construction phase. This establishes what support the site requires before work starts.

  2. Plan permits and engineering

    Permit and engineering needs are identified as part of the project planning. Addressing these requirements early helps define the work that can proceed and the information needed for construction.

  3. Prepare and excavate the area

    The site is cleared, shaped, or excavated as required by the project. The preparation is coordinated with the planned concrete or construction work so the area is ready for the next stage.

  4. Move into the construction phase

    Once the supporting work is complete, the project continues into its next phase. G & D Construction manages the related aspects and phases of the job rather than treating site preparation as an isolated task.

Site Preparations questions

Answers before you book.

More questions on our full FAQ page.

Do you handle site preparation before concrete work?

Yes. We clear, excavate, grade and lay a compacted gravel base before any concrete is poured. Because we handle both the prep and the pour, the site is ready exactly when the concrete work needs it.

Can you excavate for an addition or other construction project?

Yes. We excavate for footings, foundations, additions, retaining walls and utility lines. Underground utilities are marked through Miss Utility before we dig, and we plan the excavation around the full construction project.

Do you help with permits and engineering?

Yes. We can help coordinate the permits and engineering your project needs. Requirements vary with the type of work and the property, so we identify them early to avoid delays once work begins.

Do you work on more than residential projects?

Yes. G & D Construction provides site preparation and excavation for residential, commercial and government projects in Lanham and across Prince George's County. Call (301) 523-6167 to discuss your project.

The work was done in a timely manner. My only concern was the placement of some of the equipment on my lawn killed some of the grass.
