Excavation, grading, and roadway construction built to endure.
Truxtun delivers comprehensive highway and roadway construction services across California — from mass excavation and precision grading to landslide stabilization and large-scale rock removal. Our self-performing crews operate a full fleet of heavy equipment, enabling us to tackle the most demanding terrain and the tightest schedules. Whether the project is a multi-lane highway widening or a rural road rehabilitation, we bring the same commitment to quality, safety, and performance on every job.
Why choose Truxtun for highway and road construction?
1. Mass excavation and earthwork: Our crews move earth efficiently and precisely, handling cut-and-fill operations, channel excavation, and site preparation for roadway corridors. With GPS-guided equipment and experienced operators, we deliver subgrade surfaces that meet strict compaction and elevation requirements.
2. Precision grading and subgrade preparation: Proper grading is the foundation of every durable roadway. We perform fine grading, proof rolling, and subgrade treatment to ensure the road section is built on a stable, uniform platform — reducing long-term maintenance costs for project owners.
3. Landslide stabilization and slope repair: California terrain presents unique challenges. Our teams are experienced in emergency and planned slope stabilization, including soil anchoring, geogrid reinforcement, debris removal, and drainage improvements that restore stability and protect roadway assets.
4. Rock removal and blasting coordination: When projects encounter rock formations, we provide controlled rock removal using hydraulic breakers, ripping, and blasting coordination. Our approach prioritizes safety while maintaining production schedules in challenging geological conditions.
5. Traffic management and phased construction: Highway work demands careful coordination with live traffic. We develop and execute traffic control plans that maintain public safety and minimize disruption while keeping construction on schedule through phased operations.
