Los Angeles questions

Do you actually serve Los Angeles from Simi Valley?

Yes — Los Angeles is 30–70 minutes depending on the neighborhood. Site visits and written quotes are free, and we're honest if a job is too small to justify the mobilization.

Does LA's hillside ordinance affect my project?

If your parcel is in a designated hillside area, yes — stricter grading review, haul-route approvals on bigger jobs, and more inspections. Your engineer leads; we execute and keep the site compliant.
