Dirt Work Company Serving Newberg, Oregon

When working in Newberg’s newer developments like Springbrook or River Ridge, we coordinate closely with builders, follow approved site plans, and respect established utilities and infrastructure. We’re familiar with neighborhood covenants that may restrict working hours or access routes. Our equipment operators are skilled at working in areas where homes are close together, minimizing disruption to neighbors while efficiently completing your excavation needs.

Many Newberg properties, especially in the Chehalem Mountain area, present sloping terrain challenges. Preparing these lots typically involves creating level building pads through cut-and-fill techniques, installing proper retaining structures where needed, and developing comprehensive drainage systems to manage water flow. We carefully plan these projects to balance earthwork, minimize material hauling costs, and create stable building sites that will remain solid for generations.

Absolutely. Before any excavation in Newberg, we ensure all underground utilities are properly marked by contacting Oregon 811 (Call Before You Dig). For projects requiring new utility connections, we coordinate with Newberg Public Works to ensure water and sewer connections meet city standards. Our experience with Newberg’s infrastructure requirements helps projects proceed smoothly without costly delays.

Parts of Newberg have clay-heavy soils that can create drainage challenges and foundation concerns. When working with clay soils, we often incorporate drainage solutions like French drains or gravel layers to prevent water accumulation. For foundation work in clay areas, we may recommend specific backfill materials and compaction techniques to minimize seasonal movement. Our experience with Newberg’s varied soil types allows us to adjust our approach for optimal results in any area of the city.

Yes! With Newberg’s updated ADU regulations, we’ve helped many homeowners prepare sites for these additional living spaces. Our services include excavating for foundations, trenching for utility connections, installing separate septic systems when needed, and creating proper drainage. We understand Newberg’s specific ADU requirements and work in limited spaces while protecting existing structures and landscaping.

Properties near the Newberg-Dundee bypass project may have special considerations due to changing drainage patterns and access routes. We stay informed about bypass construction phases and consider how these changes might affect your property. For excavation projects in these areas, we develop specific plans to address current conditions while anticipating future changes as the bypass project progresses.

Newberg’s climate creates distinct excavation seasons. Summer and early fall offer ideal conditions with dry soil and extended daylight hours. Winter and spring projects often require additional erosion control measures and may face weather delays during heavy rains. For major projects, we recommend scheduling during drier months when possible. However, our experience with Newberg weather patterns allows us to work effectively year-round by implementing appropriate techniques for current conditions.
