Site Preparation by Sleeping Bear Services

At Sleeping Bear Services, we understand that a solid foundation is critical to the success of any construction project. Our Site Prep service ensures your site is perfectly prepared for any construction project you have in mind, be it hardscapes, landscapes, or any other structure.

  • Expert Evaluation: Our team visits your site to perform an in-depth assessment. With nine combined years of experience, we know exactly what to look for to identify and address potential challenges.
  • Grading and Clearing: We'll clear vegetation, debris, and obstacles from your site to ensure a clean start. Our precise grading techniques ensure proper drainage, which is essential for any long-lasting construction.
  • Soil Stabilization: If needed, our experts will stabilize the soil to provide a sturdy and reliable base for your project. This step is crucial for preventing future settling or shifting.
  • Custom Solutions: Every project is unique, so we offer custom solutions tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re planning a small garden wall or a large patio area, we have you covered.

We maintain a small, tight-knit crew that delivers high-quality, custom solutions. Our commitment to local projects in Traverse City, Michigan ensures personalized service that prioritizes your specifications. We conduct in-person estimates and generate a customized proposal, where you'll receive a full breakdown of the costs.

Your trust in our work is invaluable; hence, we are taking steps to finalize a one-year workmanship warranty. Additionally, we strive for a straightforward experience—payments are generally completed with a 50% deposit upfront and the balance upon the completion of the work. Although we prefer in-person payments for hardscape jobs, we aim to accommodate diverse payment preferences in the future.

Our team is well on its way to full licensure in Michigan, having completed the class for a builder’s license. This demonstrates our commitment to quality and professional growth in the industry.
