Professional site preparation and land grading that prevents drainage headaches and sets your project up for success.
Your property works the way it should. Water flows where you want it to go, not into your basement or pooling in your yard. Your foundation stays solid because the ground underneath was prepared correctly from the start.
You get outdoor spaces you can actually use. No more soggy areas that never dry out or steep slopes that wash away every time it rains. The land becomes functional space that adds value to your property.
Your construction project stays on schedule. When site prep is done right the first time, you don’t deal with delays, change orders, or expensive fixes later. Everything that comes after – from foundation work to final landscaping – goes smoother because the groundwork was handled properly.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling grading and excavation work in Kingsbury and the surrounding Washington County area for years. We understand how water moves through this terrain and what it takes to create stable, properly drained sites.
Our operators know the difference between clay that needs special handling and soil that drains well. We’ve seen what happens when grading gets rushed or done incorrectly, and we take the time to do it right.
You’re working with people who live here too. We see our completed projects around town, and our reputation depends on work that holds up over time.
We start by looking at your property and understanding what you’re trying to accomplish. Every site is different, and the grading plan needs to account for existing drainage patterns, soil conditions, and what you’re building.
Next comes the actual grading work. We remove high spots, fill low areas, and create the proper slopes for drainage. This isn’t just pushing dirt around – it’s creating a foundation that will perform correctly for decades.
The final step is establishing the finish grade and making sure everything drains properly. We test the slopes, check for any areas that might collect water, and make adjustments before calling the job complete. You get a site that’s ready for whatever comes next in your project.
