Professional site preparation that prevents water problems and creates the perfect foundation for your project.
You get land that drains properly. Water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around it. Your driveway doesn’t turn into a mud pit every time it rains.
The ground is level where it needs to be level, sloped where it needs to slope. Your contractor can start building on schedule because the site is ready. No delays, no extra costs, no headaches about whether the prep work was done right.
When we finish grading your property, you have a solid foundation for whatever comes next. Whether that’s a new home, addition, or commercial building, the groundwork is set for success.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling site preparation and grading projects throughout Lick Springs and the surrounding area. We understand how water moves through this terrain and what it takes to create proper drainage.
Our operators know the difference between clay that needs special attention and soil that grades easily. We’ve worked on properties throughout the region, from residential lots to commercial developments.
You’re not getting a crew that learned about your area from Google Maps. You’re getting people who have been moving dirt in Lick Springs long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
First, we walk your property and assess what needs to happen. We look at drainage patterns, existing slopes, and where water naturally wants to go. We identify any utilities that need to be marked and protected.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. We remove topsoil and set it aside for later use. Then we grade the subsoil to create proper drainage away from buildings and toward appropriate outlets.
Finally, we fine-grade the surface and replace topsoil where needed. We make sure water flows where it should and your site is ready for the next phase of construction. You get a clean, properly prepared lot that won’t cause problems down the road.
Ready to get started?
You get site evaluation and drainage planning before we move any dirt. We handle utility location and protection so nothing gets damaged during grading. Our service includes rough grading for proper water flow and finish grading for construction readiness.
We manage topsoil preservation and replacement where appropriate. If your project needs additional fill material, we can supply and place it. We also handle any necessary permits and ensure the work meets local code requirements.
The job isn’t finished until water drains properly and your site is ready for construction. We clean up the work area and leave you with a professionally prepared lot that won’t cause headaches later.
