About
Norco, CA
Norco is a northwestern Riverside County city known nationally as "Horsetown USA," home to roughly 25,000 residents and one of the largest networks of horse trails in the country. Founded in 1923 by developer Rex Clark as a rural farming settlement and incorporated in 1964, the city still enforces zoning built around large lots, agricultural use, and equestrian keeping rather than dense suburban development. Many Norco properties run on well systems, septic, and private drainage rather than full municipal hookups.
That rural character shapes our work here. Norco excavation jobs regularly involve large-lot grading, arena and corral prep, and drainage systems built to handle the clay-heavy soil common throughout the Norco Hills and Santa Ana River bottomlands, all while keeping equipment sized to fit narrower ranch access roads and gated properties.
