Professional grading that prevents drainage headaches and protects your investment for years to come.
You know that sinking feeling when you see water pooling around your foundation after a heavy rain. Or when your driveway turns into a small lake every spring. That’s what happens when grading gets done wrong—or not at all.
Proper grading means water flows away from your home, not toward it. Your foundation stays dry. Your driveway doesn’t become a pond. And you don’t spend weekends dealing with soggy yard problems that could have been prevented.
When the ground around your property is shaped correctly, everything else just works better. Construction goes smoother. Landscaping actually grows instead of drowning. And you can stop worrying about what the next storm might bring to your basement.
We’ve been moving dirt in Schuylerville and throughout Saratoga County for years. We understand how water moves through this area, what the soil does in different seasons, and how to work with the natural lay of the land instead of fighting it.
You’re not getting a crew that learned about your area from Google Maps. We’ve worked on properties throughout Schuylerville, from the flats near the Hudson to the rolling terrain further inland. We know which spots drain well naturally and which ones need help.
That local knowledge matters when you’re trusting someone to reshape the ground around your biggest investment.
First, we walk your property with you to understand what you need and what the land is telling us. Every site is different, and we’re looking at drainage patterns, soil conditions, and how water naturally wants to move across your ground.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Sometimes that’s a bulldozer for major reshaping. Other times it’s more precise work with smaller machines. We match the equipment to what your property actually needs, not what’s easiest for us.
Then we grade systematically, checking our work as we go. We’re not just pushing dirt around—we’re creating specific slopes and drainage patterns that will work for decades. When we’re done, you’ll see exactly where water will go when it rains, and it won’t be toward your foundation.
Ready to get started?
Site preparation starts with clearing and rough grading to establish the basic shape of your land. We remove rocks, roots, and debris that would interfere with proper drainage or construction. Then we create the rough contours that will direct water flow.
Finish grading comes next, where we fine-tune slopes and create the exact grades needed for your project. Whether you’re building a home, installing a driveway, or preparing for landscaping, this is where precision matters most. We use laser levels and GPS when needed to hit exact specifications.
Drainage solutions are built into every grading job. We don’t just move dirt—we create pathways for water that work with your property’s natural characteristics. That might mean subtle swales, strategic berms, or connections to existing drainage systems. The goal is always the same: water goes where you want it, not where it wants to go.
