Site Logistics & Post-Removal Reclamation
Access & Neighborhood Logistics
Wide lateral access in Walnut Creek properties allows the use of medium-sized loaders. We lay heavy composite mats to distribute weight and prevent tire tracks in clayey soils.
Yard Reclamation Strategy
The stable select-fill core is capped with high-quality topsoil, ideal for expansive lawns, xeriscape drought-tolerant landscaping, or custom pool decks.
Targeting high-precision compaction in Walnut Creek's Diablo Expansive Clay Loam matrix to ensure zero landscape shift over 25+ years.
Equipment
Compact Spec
Backfill
Select-Fill
"Walnut Creek properties feature highly expansive Diablo Range clay loams that experience extreme shrink-swell cycles, swelling during rainy winter months and cracking deeply during dry summers. Proper pool decommissioning requires breaking the concrete shell floor completely to prevent perched water tables, followed by compaction of low-plasticity select fill in 6-inch lifts to ensure long-term soil stability."
