What we do

Freedom Earthworks LLC specializes in asphalt paving, concrete, sealcoating, crack sealing, storm drains and retaining walls. We also handle grading, excavation, complete sitework, underground utility and sewer construction for public-works, commercial and residential clients throughout Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito and Santa Clara counties.

  • Asphalt Paving

    New asphalt driveways, parking lots, private roads and overlays, plus pothole repair and patching. We grade and compact the base properly so your pavement drains well and lasts.

  • Sealcoating, Crack Sealing & Striping

    Protect your asphalt from sun, water and oil damage. We clean and crack-seal driveways and parking lots, apply commercial-grade sealcoat, and restripe parking stalls, ADA spaces and markings.

  • Concrete Construction

    Concrete driveways, flatwork, slabs, pads, patios and foundations for residential, commercial and public-works projects, formed, reinforced and finished to last.

  • Storm Drains & Drainage

    Storm drain lines, inlets, catch basins and trench drains for public works, subdivisions and commercial sites, plus culverts, swales and drainage for driveways, parking lots and retaining walls.

  • Retaining Walls

    Retaining walls for driveways, hillsides, roads and building pads, built with proper footings, backfill and wall drainage so they hold up through Central Coast winters.

  • Demolition, Grading & Base Preparation

    We remove old pavement and concrete, set grades so water drains away, and place and compact aggregate base. Good prep is what keeps asphalt and concrete from cracking and settling later.

  • Excavation

    Excavation for foundations and footings, utility and drainage trenches and retaining-wall cuts, with backfill and compaction done right for the next phase of work.

  • Underground Utilities & Sewer

    Sewer laterals and mains, water services, utility trenches and hot-tap connections, built to approved plans and utility requirements, then backfilled, compacted and restored.

  • Complete Sitework With One Contractor

    Demolition, grading, utilities, drainage, concrete and paving handled by our crew, so each phase is coordinated with the next instead of split between separate contractors. Includes land clearing, grubbing and haul-off.
