SERVICE AREA · FALLBROOK, CA

GROVE COUNTRY,OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE.

Fallbrook is San Diego County grove country: rolling hills of avocado and citrus, decomposed granite and clay, rural estates alongside working groves. The county line runs between Fallbrook and S&K Grading's Riverside County home ground, and we cross it: San Diego County's grading process is its own, and we know the difference before we start.

ROLLING GROVE HILLS, A DIFFERENT COUNTY'S RULES.

Fallbrook's rolling hills are built for groves: avocado and citrus over decomposed granite and clay, with rural estate parcels mixed in among working agricultural land. It shares a lot of surface character with grove and ag ground on the Riverside County side, like De Luz, but Fallbrook is unincorporated San Diego County, which runs its own grading ordinance and permit process, separate from Riverside County's.

That distinction matters more than it might seem. A contractor who only works one county can misjudge which office and process applies; we work both sides of the line regularly, so a Fallbrook grove or estate project gets planned against San Diego County's actual process from the first conversation, not a Riverside County assumption.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

QUESTIONS WE GET.

Is the grading permit process different in Fallbrook than in Temecula?

Yes. Fallbrook is unincorporated San Diego County, so grading permits go through San Diego County's process, while Temecula and most of S&K Grading's home ground fall under Riverside County. The requirements and the office you deal with are not the same. We work both sides of the line and confirm which process applies before quoting a job.

Do you grade grove land in Fallbrook?

Yes. Ripping, leveling and drainage work for avocado and citrus groves is core work for us, whether the grove sits in Temecula Valley or across the county line in Fallbrook.

Do you work outside Riverside County?

Yes. Fallbrook, along with Bonsall and Rainbow nearby, is San Diego County, and we work there regularly alongside our Riverside County home ground. The permitting process differs by county; the grading standards we hold ourselves to do not.
