ABOUT S&K

FOUR DECADES
IN THE DIRT.

S&K Grading is a family-owned grading and excavation company based in Anza, California. Founded by Kirk McKenney on hard work, integrity and precision, we've spent 40+ years building custom house pads, prepping vineyards, clearing fire breaks and developing sites for residential, commercial and agricultural clients.

Skilled operators, modern equipment, and a commitment to getting the job done right: on lots of any size, and terrain of any temperament.

We are a licensed and bonded General Engineering Contractor (CA Lic. 791950) and an approved CAL FIRE Hired Equipment contractor. From Anza and Aguanga out through Temecula and the rest of Riverside County, the process is the same: walk the lot, quote it straight, and do the work like it is our own ground.

ADUs & GUEST HOUSES

BUILD SMART.
START WITH THE GROUND.

With today's home prices and the growing demand for multigenerational living, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and guest houses have become one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make. Whether you're creating space for family, aging parents, adult children, a home office, or generating rental income, it all starts with proper site preparation. Demand for multigenerational housing has been rising, particularly in California, as homeowners look for practical ways to make the most of their property.

WHERE S&K COMES IN

At S&K Grading, we provide professional site clearing, excavation, grading, trenching, utility installation, and building pad preparation to give your project the solid foundation it deserves.
