Our Specializations

Full-scope site development & engineering

James Sommerville, Inc. delivers comprehensive horizontal site work and underground infrastructure construction. Equipped with modern telemetry machinery and supported by a seasoned estimating office, we manage site packages from clearing and mass cut-and-fill to final structural striping.

Grading and Earthwork Operations

Grading & Earthwork

Before any structure rises, the soil must be stabilized, balanced, and graded. JSI brings state-of-the-art Caterpillar excavators, scrapers, and GPS-guided grade graders to shape sites to architectural tolerances. We manage balanced dirt, structural fill imports, and sloped hillside stabilizer cuts.

  • Mass Site Excavation
  • Hillside Terracing & Cuts
  • Subgrade Stabilization
  • Demolition & Site Clearing
  • Foundation Footing Digs
  • Erosion Control Grading
Asphalt Paving Operations

Asphalt Paving & Maintenance

We install smooth, high-load asphalt systems engineered for long service lives. From access roads to heavy logistics center parking surfaces, our paving crews manage sub-base aggregate compaction, uniform hot-mix asphalt layers, and final cosmetic protection and parking layout painting.
