Why SCUP

The dependable choice for heavy-civil work on the Central Coast

Local since 2005

Locally owned and operated. If you live in Santa Cruz, you've probably seen our trucks and crews — in the SCUP vests — working around the county.

One crew, whole job

Excavation, underground, paving, concrete, demolition and haul-off under one roof. No juggling contractors between phases.

Built on a solid base

We grade and compact a proper aggregate base before we pave or pour, so the surface drains right and lasts for decades.

Decades of experience

Our owners bring a combined lifetime in heavy-civil construction — from underground utilities to highway paving — to every job.
