Every successful residential build in Sacramento starts with a clean, well-prepared site. Whether you are breaking ground on a custom home in East Sacramento or adding an ADU in Elk Grove, excess soil can stall schedules, trigger code violations and drive up costs. CountBricks understands that dirt removal in Sacramento isn’t just about hauling material away—it is the gateway to faster inspections, accurate estimates and a safer jobsite.
The Capital Region’s alluvial soils are rich in clay, silt and seasonal moisture. That means:
• Heavy, water-laden dirt that strains equipment
• Expansive clay pockets that complicate foundation work
• Strict municipal regulations on dumping and dust mitigation
Ignoring these factors can create delays that ripple through framing, MEP rough-ins and finishing phases. CountBricks tackles them head-on with AI-driven planning and experienced field crews.
Our team merges real-time voice capture with AI estimating to turn site walks into actionable numbers. The process is simple:
1. On-site assessment with our mobile app records quantities as you speak.
2. The CountBricks engine cross-checks local dump fees, trucking rates and soil reuse credits.
3. You receive a detailed estimate—often before you leave the lot—complete with line items for hauling, grading and compaction. View a sample at CountBricks.com/services.
Instead of juggling separate vendors for excavation, trucking and backfill, CountBricks provides a single point of contact. Our certified operators load, haul and dispose of spoil in accordance with Sacramento County codes, then laser-grade the pad to the elevations on your blueprint takeoff.
• AI pulls live fuel surcharges, landfill gate fees and labor indexes
• Transparent markups eliminate surprise change orders
• Digital approvals keep your accountant looped in without paperwork
Sacramento’s green-building push rewards contractors who recycle clean fill. CountBricks automatically routes qualifying soil to local reuse sites, diverting tons from landfills and trimming your disposal bill. Builders can download diversion reports directly from their project dashboard—perfect for CalGreen documentation.
• Schedule early—trucking calendars fill fast after heavy rains
• Use CountBricks blueprint takeoffs to pinpoint over-excavation zones
• Request moisture conditioning when soil exceeds 12 % water content
• Bundle demolition debris hauling to unlock volume discounts
• Track loads in real time inside the CountBricks mobile app to verify quantities
Homebuilder GreenOak partnered with CountBricks on a 750 sq ft in-law suite. Our AI estimate identified 180 cu yd of excess soil—20 % more than the architect’s rough guess. By mobilizing an additional transfer truck, we cleared the site in one day, kept inspectors on schedule and shaved two weeks off the critical path. View more wins at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

Many contractors still rely on handwritten notes and rough yardage guesses. CountBricks replaces guesswork with precision.
Our AI reads your PDF or CAD files, highlights cut-and-fill zones and outputs spoil quantities within minutes. That data feeds the dirt removal estimate, so you reserve the right truck fleet the first time.
• Pre-filled haul route forms ready for city submission
• Dust control plans that align with Sacramento County Air Quality guidelines
• Digital signatures to keep paperwork moving while you stay on site
1. Mini-excavators for narrow Midtown alleys
2. 10-wheelers for standard subdivision loads

Clients watch load counts, GPS truck locations and cost accruals in real time. Need a mid-day adjustment? A single tap reallocates trucks or adds a water wagon for dust control.
CountBricks handled 240 cu yd of wet clay during a winter dig. By scheduling night hauling windows and moisture conditioning, we avoided weight limit fines and kept framing on schedule. The homeowner moved in two months earlier than projected.
