South Pasadena questions

Do you actually serve South Pasadena from Simi Valley?

Yes — South Pasadena 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.

What's different about digging on an alluvial fan?

Cobbles and boulders mixed through the soil — the dig is less about cutting and more about working through rock pockets. It slows cycles slightly and we account for it in the quote, not mid-job.
