Local & owner-operated

Property & jobsite
services in
Whatcom County.

We prepare, support, and restore residential properties and jobsites.

We're a small, owner-run outfit that handles the prep, labor, debris removal, and cleanup most trades don't have time for — plus the smaller build and repair jobs homeowners would rather hand to one crew. If it's the kind of work that gets a property ready, keeps a jobsite moving, or puts things back together afterward, it's probably ours.

The short version

Most of what we do falls into three parts

01

Prepare the site

Getting a property ready for construction or landscaping: clearing, tear-out, staging, protection, and gravel base work before the first trade shows up.

02

Support the contractor

Labor, material runs, logistics, and cleanup for the trades. An extra set of hands so your crew can stay on the work they came to do.

03

Restore the property

Cleanup, landscaping, gravel work, repairs, and smaller builds — the part that leaves a property in better shape than we found it.

Who we work with

Contractors and
homeowners, mostly

Those are the two we work with most, so here's what the work tends to look like for each. If you're a property manager, landlord, or realtor with something that needs doing, the work is the same — just get in touch.

Subcontracted labor and site work

For builders, remodelers, landscapers, and any other trade that could use a crew that shows up when it says it will, works clean, and hands the site back ready for the next phase.

Built for the trades

How we support the trades

A look at what our support typically covers, grouped by the kind of work you do. These aren't fixed packages — take what you need, leave what you don't, and we'll work it around your build calendar.

For builders & remodelers

Construction & Remodels

Everything around the build so your crew stays on the build.

  • Interior and exterior tear-out
  • Material pickup, delivery, and staging
  • Site prep and base work
  • Dust control and floor protection
  • Debris removal and dumpster loading
  • Daily and final cleanup
For landscape & outdoor trades

Landscape & Outdoor

The heavy, repetitive groundwork that eats up crew hours.

  • Brush clearing and site clearing
  • Hand excavation and grading
  • Dirt, rock, and material moving
  • Gravel and paver base prep
  • Material spreading
  • Site cleanup
For every other trade

Any Trade On Site

Whatever you're building, someone has to move it, load it, and clean up after it.

  • Extra labor by the day
  • Material runs and supply pickups
  • Debris management and dumpster loading
  • Daily and end-of-day cleanup
  • Nail and fastener sweeps
  • Punch list and final walkthrough prep

These are starting points, not a fixed menu. Tell us how your jobs run and we'll shape the help around them.

For property owners

A hand with
your own projects

A lot of homeowners want to do the work themselves — they just don't want to do all of it. We can take on the parts that need a truck, a strong back, or a Saturday you'd rather keep. Hire us for the whole thing, or just the part you're stuck on.

Extra Hands on Your Project

Doing the project yourself but short on muscle or time? We work alongside you on the heavy, slow parts.

Or We Build It For You

Not a DIY project after all? Tell us what you want built and we will take the whole thing, start to finish.

Demo & Tear-Out

The messy first step of most DIY projects. We tear out the old deck, fence, shed, or flooring so you can start fresh.

Prep Work Before You Build

Gravel pads, paver base, hand excavation, and leveling — the groundwork that makes a DIY build sit right.

Material Runs & Moving

Pickup and delivery of gravel, bark, lumber, and rock, plus moving it to where you actually need it.

Small Repairs & Patching

Fence boards, gate latches, deck boards, drywall patches, and gravel potholes — the fixes that keep getting put off.

Cleanup & Debris Removal

When the project is done, we clear the debris, sweep up, and remove what is left behind.

Yard & Landscape Refresh

Brush clearing, bed cleanup, fresh bark or rock, sod, and edging to bring a tired yard back.

Garage & Property Cleanout

Sort, clear, and sweep — including appliances, scrap metal, wood waste, and vacant property cleanup.

Storm & Seasonal Recovery

Downed brush, scattered debris, leaf cleanup, and seasonal damage cleared out.

Not sure where your project ends and ours begins? Describe it and we'll tell you straight.
