The ground we work
Cabrillo Excavation digs across San Diego and the east county and south bay towns around it. Each area below has its own page written about its own dirt, because this county changes geology faster than it changes zip codes and the quote should know the difference.
La Mesa
ADU country with terrain. Postwar hillside lots, Mount Helix rock and sewer laterals reaching retirement.
La Mesa excavationEl Cajon
The valley floor with the best ADU math in the county, and the cobble under it that keeps quotes honest.
El Cajon excavationChula Vista
Two dig markets in one city: aging west side laterals and pools, east side hills that need their water managed.
Chula Vista excavationLakeside
Working dirt country. Pads, arenas, septic and driveways on acreage where the machines have room.
Lakeside excavationPoway
Big hillside lots with big backyard plans: pools, benched pads, long utility runs and famous boulders.
Poway excavationSpring Valley
The steepest residential ground we serve. Retaining cuts, slope repairs and hillside pads on Dictionary Hill grades.
Spring Valley excavationSantee
The county’s densest pool-era stock. Removals, pool-to-pad conversions and the drainage the hills send down.
Santee excavationNational City
The oldest blocks in the county: century-old laterals, tight lots and digging where the maps are older than the pipes.
