EST. 1977 · Sitework & Earthwork
Site-ready ground,
graded, drained, and on schedule.
Self-performed excavation, grading, and underground utilities for New Jersey public works. One crew, one line of accountability — from the first cut to final restoration.
Why it matters
Sitework problems don't stay small.
A subgrade that doesn't pass. A utility that's six inches off. A wet hole nobody planned for. On a public-works schedule, sitework problems don't stay small — they push every trade behind them and put the completion date, and the budget, at risk.
And when the excavation, the utilities, and the grading each belong to a different sub, the fix turns into a finger-pointing meeting while the clock keeps running.
The Scafar difference
We self-perform the sitework with our own crews and equipment. The cut, the utilities, and the restoration answer to one contractor — so the foundation work is right the first time, and the schedule holds.
What we self-perform
From first cut to final restoration, underone roof.
Three phases of sitework, owned by the same crew — so handoffs don't become delays.
Earthwork
Mass excavation & precision grading
Pads, subgrades, and slopes cut to plan tolerance
Bulk cut-and-fill, structural excavation, and laser-guided fine grading. We balance the site, manage spoils, and hand off subgrades that pass inspection the first time.
Underground
Site utilities & drainage
Storm, sanitary, and water in the ground before the build starts
Trench and install storm drainage, sanitary laterals, water service, and structures — coordinated with our own water and wastewater crews so nothing waits on a sub.
Finish
Stabilization & restoration
Site closed out clean — erosion-controlled and inspection-ready
Erosion and sediment control, base and paving prep, topsoil, and final restoration. We leave the site the way the spec — and the inspector — expects it.
Proven ground
49 years of NJ public works, self-performed.
Family-owned since 1977, with our own crews and equipment statewide. When Scafar holds the sitework, you hold one accountable contractor — not a chain of subs.
