You get properly graded land that channels water away from your foundation instead of toward it. No more standing water after heavy rains. No more basement moisture problems. No more worrying about whether your new home will settle unevenly.
When we finish your grading project, your contractor can start foundation work immediately. No delays waiting for “just a little more site prep.” No surprise drainage issues showing up later when it’s expensive to fix.
Your property has the right slope for long-term stability. Water flows where it should. Your investment stays protected year after year.
We’ve been handling grading and excavation projects in Bakertown and the surrounding Warren County area for years. We understand how water moves through local soil types and what it takes to grade properties that last.
You’re not getting a crew that’s guessing about drainage patterns or learning your soil conditions on your dime. We know how the clay holds water after spring thaw. We know which areas need extra attention for drainage. We’ve graded properties throughout this area and know what works.
Our equipment handles everything from small residential lots to larger construction sites. Same attention to detail, whether you’re building a new home or preparing a commercial site.
First, we survey your site to understand the existing drainage patterns and soil conditions. Every property in Bakertown has its own challenges, and we need to see what we’re working with before we move dirt.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. We remove or add soil where needed, creating the proper slope for water runoff. This isn’t just moving dirt around—we’re creating drainage solutions for your specific property.
Finally, we compact and finish the graded areas to prevent settling. You get a stable surface that’s ready for whatever comes next in your construction process. No surprises, no callbacks to fix drainage problems later.

Your grading services include site evaluation, excavation, soil placement, and final grading all handled by the same crew. We’re not just moving dirt around—we’re creating proper drainage solutions for your specific Bakertown property.
Our grading work includes establishing correct slopes for water runoff, preparing stable surfaces for construction, and ensuring your site meets local building requirements. We handle both rough grading for initial site preparation and finish grading for final surfaces.
When your project needs additional excavation services or material hauling, we handle that too. Same crew, same standards, fewer coordination headaches for you. That’s the advantage of working with a full-service excavation company that understands how all these pieces fit together.
Most residential grading projects in Bakertown take 1-3 days, depending on your property size and the amount of work needed. Smaller lots with minimal drainage issues might be done in a day, while larger properties or sites with challenging soil conditions take longer.
Weather affects timing too—we can’t grade effectively in heavy rain or when ground conditions are too wet. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific site conditions and project requirements. No guesswork, just honest estimates based on years of experience working in this area.
Rough grading establishes the basic shape and drainage patterns for your site. This is the heavy work—moving larger amounts of soil, creating the general slope, and getting your property ready for construction. Think of it as creating the foundation’s foundation.
Finish grading comes later and creates the final, smooth surfaces for driveways, walkways, and landscaping. It’s precision work that ensures proper water flow and creates the exact elevations your project needs. We handle both phases to ensure your property has proper drainage and is ready for whatever comes next.
Grading costs depend on your property size, how much soil needs to be moved, and site accessibility. A basic residential lot might run a few thousand dollars, while properties with significant drainage challenges or difficult access cost more.
We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific site conditions. The investment in proper grading prevents much more expensive problems later—foundation issues, drainage problems, and erosion can cost tens of thousands to fix. We’ll walk your property with you and explain exactly what work is needed and why.
We help you understand what permits your grading project needs, but permit applications are typically handled by the property owner or general contractor. We can provide the technical information needed for permit applications and work with inspectors when they need to review our work.
Our grading meets local building codes and standards, which helps ensure smooth inspections. If you’re working with a contractor on new construction, they usually coordinate permits and inspections as part of the overall project management. We make sure our work passes inspection the first time.
We encounter rock and challenging soil conditions regularly in the Warren County area, so we come prepared with equipment that can handle most situations. When we hit solid rock that needs removal, we’ll discuss options with you—sometimes it’s more cost-effective to work around rock formations, other times removal makes sense for your project.
We’ll be upfront about any additional costs before proceeding. Our goal is to find the most practical solution that meets your project needs without unnecessary expenses. Years of local experience means we rarely encounter surprises we can’t handle.
Yes, we plan every job to minimize damage to your existing property. Our operators are experienced with tight spaces and know how to maneuver equipment efficiently. We’ll walk your property beforehand to identify areas that need protection and plan the best access routes.
Sometimes we can save mature trees and established landscaping that other contractors might remove unnecessarily. However, we’ll be honest about what can realistically be preserved versus what needs to be removed for safe, proper grading. Better to discuss these details upfront than deal with surprises during the work.
