If you're building in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Chandler, or San Tan Valley, the dirt work is the job that decides everything else. Bad grading causes flooding. A poorly prepped pad means cracked slabs. Drainage that's an afterthought becomes your next contractor's expensive fix. R² Contracting gets it done right the first time — no callbacks, no excuses.
Excavation & Site Grading
We handle full site excavation and grading for new home pads, pool excavations, and commercial site prep across the East Valley. Whether you're starting from raw desert or clearing an existing lot, our equipment operators know Arizona soil — caliche, fill, and everything in between. We cut to spec, compact properly, and leave a pad that your framer, plumber, and foundation crew will actually thank you for.
Land Clearing
Got a piece of desert scrub that needs to become a buildable lot? We clear it — brush, rock, trees, and debris — and haul it off or push it to a disposal area on-site. East Valley land clearing for residential and light commercial. We work clean and move fast so your project stays on schedule.
Pad Building & Compaction
A building pad isn't just flat dirt. It's engineered fill, placed in lifts, compacted to spec, and graded to drain. R² Contracting builds pads for custom homes, ADUs, manufactured homes, detached garages, and outbuildings throughout Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. We work alongside your soils engineer and are comfortable providing compaction test access for your inspections.
Drainage & Retention
The East Valley gets hammered every monsoon season. If your lot isn't graded and drained correctly, you're going to find out the hard way in July. We design and build drainage swales, retention basins, berms, and positive-grade corrections that keep water where it belongs — off your structure and out of your neighbor's yard. We've helped homeowners, GCs, and HOAs solve drainage problems that other contractors walked away from.
Why Subcontractors & GCs Choose R²
We're not a big outfit with 40 layers of management. When you call R² Contracting, you get Chandler — the guy running the machine. That means faster decisions, no game of telephone, and a crew that shows up on time because the owner is on the job. We're a go-to dirt sub for general contractors across the East Valley who need reliable, licensed, insured earthwork done on schedule. ROC #349406.
