Quick Answer
Surfacing on Normal Heights’ compact sites
Normal Heights is part of our central San Diego coverage. Projects here are often small but tightly constrained: a courtyard in a multi-unit building, a backyard reached through a narrow side yard, or a school play area that needs resurfacing.
Normal Heights sits on a mesa south of Mission Valley, with Interstate 15 to the east and El Cajon Boulevard to the south. Lots are often narrow and close together, so we plan how materials reach the work area and where they can be staged before quoting.
