M4 Landworks handles site preparation for residential construction projects throughout Oregon’s Columbia, Multnomah, and Washington counties. From new home builds to pole barns and outbuildings, we prepare your land right the first time.
Every site preparation project starts with understanding what you’re building. We take the time to assess your property, listen to your construction plans, and develop a prep strategy that sets your project up for success. Our approach combines years of hands-on experience with a solid understanding of what different building projects require – from new homes to pole barns and outbuildings. Let’s get your property ready to build.
A strong build starts with a well prepared site. This service includes clearing, excavation, grading, and drainage work to get the property ready for construction. The goal is to create a clean, level, and properly drained site that sets the project up for success from the ground up.
We prepare building sites for single-family homes and custom builds throughout Northwest Oregon, handling everything from initial clearing through final grading and compaction. Every home site is graded for proper drainage flow away from the foundation and compacted to prevent settling, giving your builder a solid, build-ready site to work with.
Creating level, compacted pads for manufactured and mobile homes with proper drainage and utility access. We prepare sites to meet manufactured home installation requirements, including precise grading for leveling, compacted base material, utility trench routes, and driveway access from the road to the home site.
We create level, well-drained building pads for shops, barns, garages, and agricultural structures. Each pad is sized to your building with proper drainage, compacted to prevent settling, and positioned on your property for optimal access and functionality.
Removing trees, stumps, brush, and debris to create clean building areas while preserving features you want to keep. We handle everything from selective clearing to complete site clearing, with options for stump removal or grinding and debris hauling.
Precise excavation for basements, crawl spaces, slab foundations, and pier footings that meet your building plans and engineering specifications. We dig to exact depths and dimensions, coordinate with your foundation contractor, and ensure proper elevations and slope stability throughout the excavation process.
Excavating routes water lines, electrical conduits, propane, and other underground utilities at proper depths and grades. All trenching is coordinated with utility providers and follows required specifications, and we can install drainage pipes and culverts as part of the utility work.
Creating durable access routes from the road to your building site with proper base preparation, drainage, and grading. We establish the route, install culverts where needed, and build up the base with compacted gravel, ensuring adequate width for construction equipment and future use.

Every property is different – the cost depends on the size of your building site, how much clearing is needed, soil conditions, grading requirements, and how much utility trenching is involved. After looking at your property and understanding your building plans, we can give you a clear estimate of what the work will cost.

Yes. Some property owners want to clear and rough grade a building site now and hold off on construction until later. We can do the initial land clearing and rough grading, leaving the site ready for final prep when you’re ready to build.
We work with builders and contractors regularly. If you already have a builder lined up, we can coordinate directly with them to make sure the site is prepped to their specifications. If you’re handling the project yourself, we can guide you through what needs to happen and in what order.
We handle the excavation and trenching for utilities – digging routes for water, electrical, propane, etc. The actual utility installations (hooking up power, installing septic tanks, drilling wells) are done by licensed contractors in those trades. We coordinate our trenching work with those contractors so everything lines up.
Absolutely. We can do selective clearing and work carefully around trees you want to preserve. We’ll talk through which trees can realistically stay based on where your building needs to sit and where equipment needs to access.
