Our Grading Process
Grade Assessment
We check existing elevations, drainage patterns, and where water needs to go.
Rough Grade
Excavator moves the bulk of material to the target elevations.
Finish Grade
Skid steer with grading attachment dials in the final, even surface.
Drainage Check
We confirm water sheds the way it's supposed to before we're done.
Grading Questions, Answered
Can grading fix a wet or flooding yard?
Often, yes — most standing-water issues come down to grade. We assess drainage patterns and correct slope so water moves away from structures.
Do you grade driveways?
Yes, driveway and access road grading is a common add-on to excavation and site prep jobs.
Is grading included with excavation jobs?
It can be bundled, or scoped separately — depends on whether your project needs rough grade only or a full finish grade.
