Santa Monica questions

Do you actually serve Santa Monica from Simi Valley?

Yes — Santa Monica is 45–75 minutes, traffic depending. Site visits and written quotes are free, and we're honest if a job is too small to justify the mobilization.

How do you manage trucks on a street with no parking?

Staged cycles — trucks arrive on call, load, and leave; nothing idles. Where a city requires temporary no-parking or traffic control permits, that's arranged before dig day.
