What does sitework actually include?

Everything that happens before vertical construction: clearing and grubbing, demolition, excavation, fill and compaction, rough and fine grading, stormwater systems, and pad prep. If it involves dirt, pipe, or grade, it's our scope.

Are you licensed and insured in Florida?

Yes. NOBL Sitework, LLC is a Florida Certified General Contractor (license #CGC1537340) and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Certificates available on request.

Do you handle permitting?

Yes. We assist with local and state permitting as part of project scope and pull our own permits when required, including land clearing, demolition, and right of way permits.

What areas do you serve?

The Florida Panhandle: Walton, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Bay, and Escambia Counties, including Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Niceville, Crestview, Santa Rosa Beach, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, and Panama City.

Do you work from engineered civil plans?

Yes. Send your civil set and we'll return a real proposal priced line by line, not a guess. We build to engineered spec and coordinate inspections.

My lot floods. Can you fix drainage?

Usually, yes. We help design and we build retention and detention ponds, swales, French drains, and storm piping that meet Florida stormwater code and actually move water.

How do I get a price?

Call 850-238-3307 or send the form on this page. For most projects we'll walk the site, then deliver a written scope and number. No pressure, no upsell.

Who handles erosion control on your projects?

We self perform erosion control and keep a state certified erosion control inspector on staff. Silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilization get installed correctly the first time and maintained until the site passes final inspection.

Do you sell fill dirt?

Yes. We own a 30 acre dirt pit at 3125 River Rd in Navarre and sell clean fill by the cubic yard. We load your truck at the pit or we deliver with our own trucks. Call 850-238-3307.

How is fill dirt sold?

By the cubic yard. Call 850-238-3307 for current pricing and for volume rates if you are a hauling company or contractor.

Can the general public buy dirt, or just contractors?

Anyone can buy. Hauling companies, contractors, and homeowners are all welcome at the pit.

How far will you deliver fill dirt?

We deliver with our own trucks across Northwest Florida, including Navarre, Gulf Breeze, Pace, Milton, Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Crestview, and Destin.

Do you load customer trucks?

Yes. Our operator loads your truck or trailer at the pit at 3125 River Rd in Navarre. Call 850-238-3307 on your way over.

Equipment Used for Sitework and Land Clearing

Jul 2

Written By Drew @ NOBL Sitework

Before anyone pours a foundation or builds a road, the land has to be cleared, dug, and shaped, and that takes the right machines. Sitework equipment is the muscle behind the first phase of every project. Here is a plain rundown of the main machines we run, what each one does, and how they work together to turn raw ground into ground that is ready to build on.

Excavators

The excavator is the workhorse of a sitework crew. It is the machine with the hydraulic arm and bucket, and it does a little of everything: digging foundations and stormwater structures, pulling stumps and clearing brush, loading spoil and debris into dump trucks, and shaping the ground. With the right attachment, like a thumb or a hammer, the same machine handles rock, concrete, and oversized material. If you only watched one machine on a job, it would be the excavator.

Bulldozers

The dozer is the pushing machine, a heavy tractor with a wide blade up front. It moves big volumes of dirt, spreads fill across a site, knocks down rough high spots, and does the heavy shaping before fine grading. On a clearing job a dozer pushes felled trees and debris into piles. Many of ours run GPS grade control, so the blade follows the site plan automatically, which cuts down on material waste and rework.

Backhoes and skid steers

Not every job needs the big iron. A backhoe has a loader on the front and a digging arm on the back, which makes it handy on smaller sites for light digging, grading, and moving material in one machine. A skid steer is the small, versatile machine for tight spaces, final grading, and hauling material where a full size machine will not fit. The right small machine on a small job is faster and cheaper than forcing a big one into a spot it does not belong.

Compaction and grading

Moving the dirt is only half the job. Once fill is placed it has to be compacted, and that is the roller’s work, packing the soil tight in layers so the ground can carry the load without settling. Final grading, whether by a dozer with grade control or a smaller machine, sets the surface to the right slope so the site drains and the pad sits where the plans call for. Skip the compaction and grading and you get the settling and the standing water that show up a year later.

Why the right mix matters

A job run with the wrong equipment is slow and expensive. Too small and you are there for weeks. Too big and you are paying for iron that cannot get into the spot. The advantage of working with a crew that owns and runs a full fleet is that the machine that shows up actually fits the work, and one contractor can take the lot from clearing through grading without waiting on a string of rented equipment.

That is most of what we do. NOBL Sitework is a licensed general contractor (CGC1537340) clearing, excavating, and grading sites across Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Escambia, and Bay counties, with our own equipment and our own dirt pit. If you have a site that needs to be cleared and shaped, call us at 850-238-3307.
