Excavation, grading & trenching in San Diego

Bernal Builders, Inc. is a San Diego general contractor that performs excavation, grading, and trenching as part of its site-work capabilities across San Diego County. We hold California CSLB License #1047688 with General Building and General Engineering classifications, and site work is coordinated alongside our structural, concrete, and foundation capabilities.

Site work is often the first construction phase on a project. Excavation and grading prepare a site, trenching supports foundations and utilities, and that work ties directly into foundations, concrete, and the structural build that follows. Coordinating these phases within one project can keep a build on track.

What site work may include

Depending on the project, Bernal Builders' site work may include excavation, grading, trenching, and site preparation, along with foundation-related excavation and construction-related trenching. We do not claim a specific equipment fleet, excavation depths, hauling capacity, soil engineering, or utility-locating services — scope is developed per project.

SDG&E-related excavation & backfill

Bernal Builders also provides SDG&E-related backfill and excavation as a Veriforce Certified and SDG&E Signatory Contractor. This is a confirmed capability related to utility excavation and backfill work. Bernal Builders does not represent SDG&E, and SDG&E does not endorse Bernal Builders.

Where site work fits in our projects

Excavation, grading, and trenching can support residential and commercial construction, new construction, ADU development, and foundation and structural work. These phases are coordinated within the broader project scope.
