About the Project
A new residential build in Clarendon Hills required complete site preparation before construction could begin. Donegal provided everything from fencing and erosion control to excavation, concrete work, utility installation, and finish grading.
Because the site sat on a sloped property with nearby homes, safety, drainage, and precision were critical.
Key Project Stats
- Location: Clarendon Hills, Illinois
- Scope: Excavation, concrete, utilities, dumpsters, fencing, erosion control, portable toilet, grading
- Clients Served: Homeowner + new-home builder
- Completion: On schedule
- Final Condition: Fully prepped building pad with correct grade
The Challenge
This project required close coordination because of:
- A sloped, uneven property
- Active construction traffic in a tight residential area
- The need for precise footing excavation & utility trenching
- Strict erosion control requirements
- Concrete sequencing and on-site logistics
Donegal’s multi-division capabilities allowed the project to move smoothly from one phase to the next
Our Approach
1. Site Protection Setup
We installed construction fencing to secure the property and silt fencing to protect against runoff, meeting local code requirements.
2. Portable Toilet Delivery
Crew amenities were set up to support long-term construction activity.
3. Excavation & Earthwork
Donegal handled all excavation required for the new home — including foundation cuts, trenches, and material shaping.
4. Concrete Work
Concrete was placed for key structural elements, ensuring a stable base for new construction.
5. Dumpster Delivery & Hauling
On-site dumpsters were provided and rotated as needed to maintain a clean, safe jobsite.
6. Site Utilities
Water, sewer, and other utility trenches were excavated, installed, and inspected according to local standards.
7. Final Grading for New Home
The site was finely graded for proper drainage, elevation, and landing pads for upcoming construction phases.
