S&K GRADINGGENERAL ENGINEERING
La Cresta sits on the Santa Rosa Plateau above Murrieta, five-acre-plus estate and equestrian parcels under oak woodland, reached by private roads. Grading here answers to the county and to the community's own architectural review, and both have to sign off before the job is done.
La Cresta is unincorporated Riverside County land on the Santa Rosa Plateau, rural estate and equestrian country with parcels typically five acres or larger, oak woodland, and private roads instead of public ones. It is a different world from a standard suburban lot: bigger scale, more topography to work with, and grading that has to account for private road maintenance as much as the building site itself.
On top of county grading permits, La Cresta properties often carry community architectural or HOA review, which means a grading plan has to satisfy both processes, not just one. We plan for that from the start rather than treating it as a surprise partway through the job.

Yes. Many La Cresta parcels are reached by private roads rather than county-maintained ones, and we grade, crown and compact those roads the same way we do any ranch or estate access road.
