Land grading project in progress

Land Grading

Proper grading is the foundation of any successful construction project. We level and shape land to ensure proper drainage, stability, and a solid base for whatever comes next.

  • Residential lot grading for new home construction
  • Yard regrading to fix drainage issues
  • Commercial site leveling
  • Agricultural land preparation
  • Finish grading for landscaping

Why it matters: In NC's clay-heavy soil, improper grading leads to standing water, foundation problems, and erosion. Getting it right from the start saves you money and headaches down the road.

Culvert installation for drainage

Drainage Correction & Culvert Installation

Water that doesn't drain properly causes erosion, flooding, and property damage. We install and repair drainage systems to move water where it needs to go.

  • Culvert pipe installation and replacement
  • French drain systems
  • Ditch grading and cleaning
  • Swale construction
  • Stormwater management solutions

Why it matters: NC gets plenty of rain, and our clay soil doesn't absorb it well. Proper drainage protects your foundation, prevents yard flooding, and keeps your driveway from washing out.

Gravel driveway grading

Driveway & Road Grading

A well-graded driveway holds up through the seasons. We build and maintain gravel driveways, private roads, and access paths that last.

  • New gravel driveway construction
  • Driveway regrading and repair
  • Private road building
  • Farm and field access roads
  • Pothole and washout repair

Why it matters: A properly graded driveway sheds water to the sides instead of pooling and eroding. The right base and crown make all the difference in how long it lasts.

Site clearing and preparation

Site Preparation

Before construction can begin, the land needs to be cleared and prepared. We handle the dirt work so builders can focus on building.

  • Land clearing and grubbing
  • Brush and debris removal
  • Topsoil stripping and stockpiling
  • Cut and fill earthwork
  • Foundation excavation

Why it matters: Proper site prep ensures your building has a stable foundation. Rushing this step leads to settling, cracking, and expensive repairs later on.

Why it matters: Once erosion starts, it only gets worse. Catching it early and implementing the right controls protects your property and prevents costly damage.
