Earthmoving
Excavation, hillside cuts, fill and level building pads in the Costa Ballena and Pérez Zeledón, with our own machinery and local operators.
Get a quote on WhatsAppAlmost nothing in southern Costa Rica gets built on flat ground. Before a house, a warehouse or a road, the hillside has to be cut, the spoil hauled away and a firm base left behind. That's what we've done since 1996, from our base in Barú de Uvita.
All 17 units are our own: excavators, a dozer, backhoes and dump trucks, including tracked dump trucks that go where a wheeled truck can't climb. We never wait on someone else's equipment.
What's included
- Hillside cutsTerraced too, when the slope calls for it.
- Level building padsFor houses, warehouses and parking.
- Fill and gradingSo the ground is even and water drains away properly.
- Loading and haulingWith our own dump trucks, tracked ones included.

Questions about this service
How much does earthmoving cost?
It is usually quoted by contract, based on the job: the volume of earth, the access, moving the machinery to the site and where the material is dropped off. Send the location and a few photos on WhatsApp and we'll give you a price; if needed, we visit the land.
Do you work on steep ground?
Yes. Most of the area is mountainous, and our tracked dump trucks haul material where a regular truck can't climb.
Do you leave the pad ready to build on?
Yes: cut, leveled and compacted, so the builder starts on firm ground.
