What We Do

Our Grading Services

Here's what we handle as part of every grading project.

Rough GradingMass earthwork to establish the basic shape and elevations of your site — including cut and fill operations, building pad preparation, and drainage flow.
Fine GradingPrecision finish grading to achieve exact elevations and slopes for roads, parking lots, sidewalks, building pads, and landscape areas.
Subgrade PreparationPreparation and compaction of subgrade materials to create a stable base for foundations, roadways, curbs, and pavement structures.
Drainage & Stormwater GradingGrading of retention ponds, detention basins, swales, and drainage channels to manage stormwater flow across the project site.
Road & Parking Lot GradingGrading road shoulders, parking areas, and subbase layers to the precise slopes and compaction levels required before paving.
GPS & Laser-Guided AccuracyWe use GPS machine control and laser-guided equipment to achieve precise grades, reducing rework and ensuring accuracy.

How Grading Works

From first call to final walkthrough — here’s what to expect when you work with us.

1

Plan Review & Estimate

We review the project grading plans, calculate earthwork quantities, and provide a detailed estimate for all grading operations.

2

Site Preparation

We clear the site and establish erosion control measures before grading operations begin, ensuring a clean starting surface.

3

Grading Operations

Our crews perform rough and fine grading using GPS-guided equipment, moving earth to achieve the specified elevations and slopes.

4

Compaction & Verification

We compact subgrade materials to specification and verify grades meet the engineered plans before the next phase begins.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Grading Stands Out

Proper grading ensures site stability, prevents erosion, and directs stormwater away from structures. Our grading services include mass earthwork, cut and fill operations, subgrade preparation, pond construction, and finish grading for roads, parking lots, building pads, and landscape areas. We work from engineered plans and use laser and GPS technology to achieve precise grades. As a full-service site work contractor, grading is seamlessly coordinated with our clearing, utility, paving, and landscaping operations.

Precision Equipment

GPS and laser-guided equipment ensures your site is graded to the exact elevations and slopes specified in the engineered plans.

Full-Service Integration

Grading is coordinated with clearing, utilities, paving, and landscaping — eliminating gaps between project phases.

Quality Assurance

We verify compaction levels and grades at every stage, ensuring the work meets engineering specifications before moving on.

Efficient Earthwork

We balance cut and fill operations on-site whenever possible, reducing hauling costs and keeping your project on budget.

FAQ

Common Questions About
Grading

Rough grading is the mass earthwork phase that establishes the basic shape and elevations of the site. Fine grading is the precision finishing phase that achieves the exact elevations and slopes required for roads, pads, and pavement — typically within fractions of an inch.

Yes. We perform both excavation (cut) and fill operations. Whenever possible, we balance earthwork on-site to minimize hauling and reduce project costs.

We use bulldozers, motor graders, excavators, and compaction equipment — many equipped with GPS machine control for precision. Equipment selection depends on the specific grading requirements.

Absolutely. We grade retention ponds, detention basins, swales, and drainage channels to manage stormwater according to the project's engineering plans.

We use GPS equipment, laser levels, and survey instruments to verify grades at every stage. We also coordinate with the project surveyor and engineer to confirm the work meets specifications.
