KPM Services Inc. provides site preparation services in Massachusetts including lot clearing, grading, backfilling, and construction base preparation. Site prep is the critical step that gets a raw or demolished property ready for construction, landscaping, or paving.
Site preparation encompasses all the work needed to transform a raw lot or cleared site into a buildable, graded surface. This includes removing stumps and vegetation, establishing proper drainage grades, compacting subgrade, and building the base layer for driveways, slabs, or structures.
KPM works with residential homeowners starting new construction, contractors preparing lots for foundation work, and commercial developers preparing larger sites. We bring the right combination of equipment — excavators, graders, compactors — to handle every stage of site prep.
Proper site preparation reduces settlement, improves drainage, and ensures your foundation, driveway, or structure performs as designed. Skipping or rushing this step is one of the most common causes of future construction problems.

What Happens After We Leave?
When KPM finishes the job, your site is not left in chaos. Depending on the scope, we remove all debris, clean the work area, prepare access, grade the site, and leave the property ready for the next contractor, builder, landscaper, or construction phase.
We don't just demolish or excavate — we make sure the project can keep moving the moment we're done.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in site preparation?
Site prep typically includes clearing vegetation and debris, grading the land to proper elevations, compacting the subbase, and installing crushed stone or gravel as a working base for construction.
Do you clear lots for new construction?
Yes. KPM clears residential and commercial lots of trees, brush, stumps, and debris, then grades the site to prepare for foundation or building work.
Can you grade a lot for drainage?
Yes. Drainage grading is one of the most important aspects of site preparation. We establish slopes that direct water away from structures and toward appropriate drainage points.
Do you work with general contractors on site prep?
Yes. We regularly work as a subcontractor for general contractors, builders, and developers on both residential and commercial projects across Massachusetts.
