Local excavating & grading for Chico
BC Brown General Engineering has handled excavating and grading across Chico and Butte County since 1999. Chico is the largest city in Butte County and BC Brown's home base, the commercial hub of the northern Sacramento Valley anchored by Chico State and Bidwell Park, and that local knowledge shapes how we approach every job here.
Grading around Chico is about water, getting it to drain away from buildings and off the lot. We shoot grades, cut and fill to balance the site, and compact pads to spec so whatever goes on top, a slab, a shop, a home, sits on solid, well-drained ground.
Chico is just north of our Durham yard, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short. We pull grading and encroachment permits where the work calls for them and handle the red tape so you do not have to.
