Our Services

Site Grading & Land Leveling

We sculpt terrain using precise slopes—typically a 2% grade—to channel surface water away from structures and restore balance to uneven or settled yards.

Soil Testing & Soil Improvement

We assess soil type, texture, and compaction—including high-clay areas—and amend soils with organic materials or select fill to improve drainage and stability.

Compaction & Soil Stabilization

After grading, we compact soil to optimal density using geotextiles, gravel stabilizer, or mixed soil blends for a strong foundation that resists erosion.

Drainage Preparation & Erosion Control

We shape swales, terraces, or slope buffers to manage runoff, reduce soil wash, and maintain evenly distributed water flow across the site.

Our Grading & Soil Preparation Process

1. Initial Site Inspection

Review slope issues, soil types, drainage challenges, and intended use.

2. Custom Grading Plan

Define grading profiles, drainage pathways, and soil lift requirements.

3. Soil Testing & Amendments

Conduct soil mapping and integrate compost or organic matter where needed.

4. Heavy-Grading & Site Contouring

Use GPS-equipment and machinery to grade according to engineered plans.

5. Soil Compaction & Conditioning

Compact fill to design density and apply stabilization fabric or grading layers.

6. Final Inspection & Activation

Confirm slope alignment, density targets, and functionality; provide maintenance recommendations.
