Before pouring a foundation or laying down stone, your land needs the right slope and compaction. We perform rough and final grading for homes, garages, additions, and outbuildings to set the stage for successful construction.
Improper grading leads to pooling, erosion, and costly water damage. We design slopes and swales to direct runoff away from foundations, driveways, and low points—protecting your investment long-term.
Transform uneven, unusable yards into functional, beautiful spaces. We reshape and regrade residential lots for sod installation, garden beds, retaining walls, or new hardscape features.
We remove excess material or bring in fill to match project elevations. All work is done using laser-guided equipment and compacted to meet engineering or permit specifications.

Land grading is the process of reshaping and leveling the ground to create a safe, functional, and stable surface. It’s essential for building structures, preventing water issues, and preparing soil for landscaping. Proper grading promotes drainage, prevents erosion, and ensures compliance with local building codes. Grading services often include excavation, cutting high points, filling low areas, compacting soil, and creating slope or pitch to redirect water. Land grading is commonly used in residential construction, driveway prep, road building, and landscape design projects.
Not all grading jobs are equal—always ask about equipment, local experience, and whether the contractor provides rough grading, fine grading, and final compaction. Make sure they’re familiar with local drainage bylaws, lot elevations, and permit requirements. A qualified grading contractor should provide a detailed quote and clear explanation of how water will be managed across your property.
Grading is essential before building a house, garage, retaining wall, or driveway. It’s also needed when correcting slope issues, solving drainage problems, or prepping a lawn for new sod or seed. If water is pooling around your home or basement walls, grading may be the solution.
