Construction site Prep & pad site prep

Preparing a site correctly is the first step to a successful build. At Gilman Driveway & Land Services, we provide small-scale construction site prep services for homeowners, contractors, and property owners throughout Western Maine.

Construction Site Prep Services

Whether you’re building a garage, shed, or cabin -- or preparing an area for a hot tub, fire pit, or parking area -- we focus on creating a clean, level, and properly graded site that’s ready for the next phase of construction.

Using our Caterpillar skid steer, we handle essential site work such as land clearing, material placement, and grading for projects where full-size excavation equipment isn’t necessary. Our compact tracked equipment allows us to work efficiently in tight or wooded areas while minimizing ground disturbance.

Common projects we support:

  • Shed and garage site prep

  • Small home additions

  • Pole barn and outbuilding pads

  • Gravel parking areas and turnarounds

  • Camp and cabin site preparation

  • Slab and foundation prep (pre-excavation support)

  • Fire pit areas, playgrounds, pathways & more

Our pricing will factor in the size of the site, nature of the work required, whether work days will be concurrent or will require us to transport our skid steer on multiple separate days, and how much material will need to be ordered.
