LB3 ENTERPRISES, INC.
Continues to Build on Their Reputation for Mass and Finish Grade Excavation Excellence Throughout Southern California By Brian Hoover, Editor LB3 Enterprises, Inc. (LB3) was initially formed in Arizona when company president and construction veteran, Larry Brown, began helping developers mass grade, expand and develop Lake Havasu and the surrounding areas. From there, the projects continued to grow in scope and size as the LB3 team quickly grew in both volume and reputation. Development in Southern California began to boom in the 2000s, and this caught the attention of both Larry Brown and LB3 vice president, Tim Cramer, who oversees all company operations. In 2004, a decision was made to expand LB3’s operations into Southern 12
California to take advantage of the expanding construction market. “We have been fortunate to have experienced such tremendous growth since our inception into the Southern California marketplace, “says Cramer. “We are proud to have been involved with and played an integral role in the construction of many amazing Southern California communities.” LB3’s expertise lies in mass and finish grade excavation services in various markets, from public works and private residential to the material and landfill industry. LB3 can handle most any earthmoving project, from 100,000 yards to 10 million

The combination of cheap money or low-interest rates and lack of housing inventory will continue to drive this market into the foreseeable future.” LB3’s largest contract to date is the Otay Ranch Village 2 project that began in 2015 and ran through 2016.
