Precision Grading for Lasting Foundations
Proper drainage starts with expert grading. We reshape North Carolina terrain to protect your property from water damage and erosion.
Why Grading Matters
More Than Just Moving Dirt
Land grading is the foundation of every successful paving project. Without proper slope and drainage, even the best asphalt will fail prematurely.
Drainage Solutions
NC weather brings heavy rains. We grade to direct water away from foundations, preventing costly basement flooding and foundation cracks.
Foundation Stability
A properly graded lot prevents soil erosion and settlement, ensuring your home or building sits on stable ground for decades.
Precise Sloping
We use laser-guided equipment to achieve exact slopes, ensuring water flows exactly where you want it—to drainage ditches or retention areas.
Site Preparation
Before any paving begins, we prepare the sub-base to industry standards, compacting layers to create a solid, unyielding foundation.
Our Expertise
The Science of Slope
North Carolina's clay-rich soil and rolling terrain present unique challenges. We've spent over a decade mastering these challenges.
Our grading process begins with a thorough site analysis. We identify low spots, high points, and natural water flow patterns. Then, we use our fleet of bulldozers, graders, and compactors to reshape the land according to plan.
We don't just "push dirt around." We calculate slopes—typically a 6-inch drop over 10 feet—to ensure effective drainage away from structures. This precision prevents the common problems we see in poorly graded yards: standing water, muddy patches, and foundation shifting.
