Most land problems are really dirt problems.
Water standing by the house, a yard that washes out every time it rains, a site that's too low or too steep to build on. Almost all of it comes down to how the ground is shaped.
We cut down high spots, fill low ones, set grades so water moves away from what matters, and finish it out so it stays that way.
What's included
- Cut & fillTaking dirt from where it's not needed to where it is.
- Rough gradingSetting the overall shape and elevations.
- Finish gradingFinal smooth grade, ready for seed, base or a slab.
- Drainage correctionFixing standing water and runoff problems.
- Elevation changesRaising sites out of low ground.
- ExcavationDigging for foundations, basements, tanks and utilities.
How the job goes
- Tell us the problemStanding water, a slope, or a site that needs to come up.
- Look at the groundWhere water comes from and where it needs to go.
- EstimateScope, dirt quantities and approach.
- GradeCut, fill, compact and shape.
- FinishFinal grade and cleanup.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so we price after we've seen it. These are the things that move the number.
- Volume of dirtHow many yards get moved, and how far.
- Fill materialWhether fill comes from on site or gets hauled in.
- CompactionAreas that will carry a structure need more work.
- Soil conditionsClay, rock and wet ground all change the approach.
- Finish levelRough shaping versus a finished, seed-ready grade.
This clay moves
A lot of the ground around here is clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry. Build on it carelessly and you get cracked slabs, doors that won't shut and pads that settle.
Proper moisture, compaction and drainage make the difference. That's local knowledge, and it's why grading done by someone who knows this dirt holds up better.
