Our Grading & Soil Prep Services
Rough Grading
We use skid steers, rakes, and lasers to create the right slope away from foundations, patios, and low points.
Final Grading
Precision shaping of surface elevations to create a smooth, even plane for sod, beds, or hardscaping.
Soil Amendment & Blending
We blend compost, sand, or topsoil into existing clay-heavy soil for better drainage and plant health.
Compaction & Drainage Prep
We compact critical areas (like under patios or turf), and cut in drainage swales or install drainage pipe if needed.

1. Site Assessment
We evaluate slopes, runoff points, and water behavior during heavy storms.

We grade using both equipment and hand tools for precision near structures and tight spaces.
3. Soil Conditioning (Optional)
We till in compost, remove rocks or debris, and fix poor soil structure.
4. Compaction & Final Pass
We use plate compactors or rollers to finalize the grade for sod, beds, or pavers.
5. Drainage Adjustments (if needed)
We install French drains, swales, or regrade trouble spots to move water away from the home.
