Working in Paradise
BC Brown General Engineering has served Paradise since 1999. Paradise is the Ridge community still rebuilding after the 2018 Camp Fire, a town where new driveways, pads, and septic systems are going in across thousands of lots. We bring the same crews, equipment, and standards to every job here, from a single driveway to a full site build.
The ground around Paradise is decomposed granite and volcanic foothill soils on sloped, forested 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.
Paradise is up the Ridge northeast of Chico. 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.

Paradise FAQs.
What services does BC Brown offer in Paradise?
The full general engineering scope: dirt work and grading, asphalt, new and replacement septic, sewer laterals and trenching, complete site prep, and concrete flatwork. You deal with one contractor from the first walk-through to the final inspection.

How fast can you get to Paradise?
Paradise is up the Ridge northeast of Chico, so estimates are usually scheduled within the week, and Brandon answers the phone directly at (530) 624-2094.
What does Paradise ground mean for my project?
Foothill ground: slopes, rock, and thin topsoil over harder material. Cuts and fills need to be benched and compacted properly, driveways need grades a truck can climb in wet weather, and drainage has to be planned before the first pass, not after the first storm.
