How a grading job works
Every site is different, but the work follows the same order: walk it, clear it, build it up, grade it, and finish it.
Tell us about the site
Call or send a quote request with the address, what you're building, and anything you know about the land — slope, trees, soil, water.
Squared away before we dig:
- Get the building permit
- Check with the county on where the home can be placed and any special rules for your lot
- Get the soil tested, if your county requires it
- Have someone probe for septic and well
- Trace any existing buried lines on the property — 811 only locates to the edge of the street
We walk it
We come out, walk the property, and look at access, drainage, soil, and what has to come down. Then we give you a real number for the work.
Clear the land
Trees, brush, rocks, and debris come out so we're working on clean, visible ground — with room for equipment and drainage.
Fill & compact
We bring in quality fill where the site sits low, and compact it so the base won't settle or shift later.
Fill dirt must always be compacted.
Grade & drain
We shape a level, properly sloped pad with positive drainage — and install a french drain where the site needs one.
Footers, drives & concrete
Dirt or concrete footers, gravel, driveways, slabs — whatever finishes the job so it's ready to build on and ready for inspection.
Equipment for every stage
From land clearing to finish grade, we bring the right machine for the job — so the work gets done efficiently, precisely, and with as little disruption to your property as possible.
