Building Pads
Building something? It starts with the pad.
House pads, barn pads, shop pads and slab prep. Cut, filled, compacted and shot to grade.

How it works
House sites, barns, shops, sheds and slabs. We cut it, fill it, compact it and shoot it with a laser so it is level and it stays level.
If the lot needs clearing first we do that too, and we haul in the fill ourselves rather than waiting on a supplier.
We work with builders and with homeowners doing it themselves. Either way, tell us what is going on the pad and how big it is.
What we need to know to quote it
Have these ready when you call and we can usually give you a number on the spot.
- What is going on it, and what are the dimensions?
- Does the site need clearing first?
- Is the lot flat or on a slope? A slope usually means cut and fill.
- Do you have a survey or stakes, or do we need to work from what is there?

What people say about our building pads work
I couldn't be more happier with Matt and his crew. They did an excellent job grading my homesite, barn and horse riding arena. The attention to detail, quality of work were outstanding from start to finish. I highly recommend Smith Mine to anyone needing grading, site work & septic.
