Darin at Coastal Contracting was great. He discussed what I needed when he arrived and we talked about different ideas and options to get the best outcome. He was very polite and professional and my site turned out great. I could not be happier with how it looks after hiring one of the best around. He even hand-raked a few spots that most other people would've just left for me to finish. Will certainly call him again and refer him to anyone who wants great work done.

Expert Dirt Work Services in Lee County, FL
Dirt work services in Lee County cover the ground-level tasks that every build depends on. Coastal Contracting SFL handles site grading, land clearing, fill placement, pad preparation, retention pond digging, and utility trench work. We work on residential lots, commercial parcels, and raw acreage across the county. Lee County's dominant soils are shallow, poorly drained fine sands, and much of the county sits within FEMA flood zones. That means grading must direct water toward approved swales or canal connections, and finished floor elevations must meet county building standards before a slab is poured. We assess each site's slope, soil condition, and access before any machine moves. Whether you are preparing a new build pad in Fort Myers, correcting drainage on a Lehigh Acres lot, or shaping a retention area in Cape Coral, we bring the right equipment and local knowledge to get the ground ready. Call Coastal Contracting SFL to schedule a site visit.
