Residential Lot Grading

We shape, level, and prepare residential lots for new construction and property improvements. The goal is a clean, workable site with elevations and slopes that support the next stage of the project.

Common applications: new-home lots, property improvements, yard reshaping, material spreading, and preparation for landscaping or construction.

Rough & Final Grading

Drainage Correction

Low areas, poor slopes, and standing water can create ongoing problems. We reshape affected areas, establish swales where appropriate, and improve surface flow away from structures and finished spaces.

Common applications: standing water, low areas, negative slope toward a home, poorly shaped swales, and surface runoff problems.
