Excavation, Demolition, and Trenching Services in Del Mar

Welcome to SDAPC. If you are looking to break ground on a new project in Del Mar, California, you have come to the right place. We are San Diego Asphalt Paving and Concrete, but don’t let the name fool you. We do a lot more than just paving. We are a fully licensed development and engineering company.

We hold both General A Engineering and General B Contractor licenses here in California. This means we understand the "big picture" of construction. Whether you are a homeowner needing a backyard cleared or a business owner planning a major remodel, we handle the heavy lifting. Specifically, we specialize in excavation, demolition, and trenching.

Why Excavation Matters

Excavation is the first step in almost any construction project. It sets the stage. If the dirt work isn't done right, nothing else will be either. In Del Mar, the terrain can be unique. You have coastal soil, sandy patches, and sometimes tricky hillsides.

We approach residential and commercial excavation with precision. It isn’t just about digging holes. It is about site preparation. We move earth to create a solid, level foundation for whatever comes next.

Here is what we typically handle:

• Grading: Leveling the ground for driveways, patios, or building pads.
• Site Clearing: Removing brush, rocks, and debris to open up the space.
• Soil Compaction: Making sure the ground is hard enough to support weight.
• Hauling: Taking away the excess dirt so you aren’t left with a mess.

One thing we love about this work is seeing a chaotic plot of land turn into a clean slate. It’s satisfying work.

Demolition Services: Out with the Old

Sometimes, before you can build the new, you have to get rid of the old. That is where our demolition services come in. We handle this carefully. Safety is our top priority. We don’t just smash things; we take them apart systematically.

You might need demolition for:

• Concrete Removal: Breaking up old driveways, cracked sidewalks, or patios.
• Structure Demo: Taking down small structures, sheds, or retaining walls.
• Asphalt Removal: Ripping up old parking lots or paths.

We have the heavy equipment to break it down and the trucks to haul it away. We leave your site clean and ready for the next phase.

Trenching for Utilities

This is the part of the job that people often forget about until they need it. Trenching is vital. It is how you get water, power, and gas from the street to your house or building.

Because we are a General A Engineering Contractor, we are experts at digging precise trenches. We create the pathways for:

• Electrical Lines: Bringing power to new additions or outdoor lighting.
• Plumbing and Drainage: Installing sewer lines or storm drains.
• Data Cables: laying the groundwork for internet and communications.

Trenching in Del Mar requires care. We have to be mindful of existing pipes and the stability of the soil. We make sure the trench is safe, the lines are laid correctly, and the backfill is compacted properly so the ground doesn't sink later.

Factors That Affect Cost

We know that budget is always on your mind. When you are looking for contractor services involving heavy equipment, prices can vary. We believe in being upfront.

Here are a few things that might change the cost of your project:

1. Access: Is your lot in Del Mar easy to get to? If we have to use smaller equipment to fit through a narrow gate, it might take a little longer.
2. Soil Conditions: Digging through soft sand is different than digging through hard rock or heavy clay.
3. Hauling Fees: Disposal fees for concrete and dirt can vary depending on volume.
4. Permits: Depending on the scope, the city might require specific permits.

We are happy to walk you through these details. We want you to feel comfortable with the numbers before we start the engine.
