Hillside & Commercial Contractor in Orange County
Orange County's hillside communities, Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, and the canyons of south county, have the same slope, soils, and access problems we solve every day closer to home. SAWA brings its drilling rigs and structural crews to Orange County for hillside homes, foundations, and retaining walls, and delivers commercial construction and tenant improvements county-wide.

What the ground and the permits look like here.
Coastal Orange County slopes are heavily regulated by both city geotechnical review and, near the coast, the Coastal Commission. Inland hillside cities have their own grading ordinances. Caisson foundations, slope stabilization, and tieback walls are common requirements, and we self-perform all of them.
