Working in Magalia
BC Brown General Engineering has served Magalia since 1999. Magalia sits in the pines just above Paradise, a forested foothill community that was also hit hard by the Camp Fire and is steadily rebuilding. We bring the same crews, equipment, and standards to every job here, from a single driveway to a full site build.
The ground around Magalia is forested decomposed-granite ground on steep, wooded Ridge lots. Hillside work is our bread and butter: cutting level pads into grade, managing drainage and erosion on slopes, and building driveways and systems that hold their line on the hill.
Magalia is above Paradise on the Ridge. We pull permits through the Butte County Environmental Health Division when the job calls for it, from septic and grading to encroachment, and handle the inspections so the work closes out clean.

How fast can you get to Magalia?

What does Magalia ground mean for my project?
Sloped lots with rock and decomposed granite in the mix. The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that washes out is base depth, compaction, and drainage, and on fire-rebuild lots we also deal with what the burn left behind.
