You get proper drainage that protects your investment for decades. No more standing water around your foundation. No more muddy yards that stay soggy for days after rain. No more wondering if your property is ready for the next phase of construction.
When grading is done right, water moves where it should go – away from your home and into natural drainage patterns that work with your land, not against it. Your property becomes usable space instead of a problem area that limits what you can do with your investment.
The result is peace of mind knowing your foundation won’t settle unevenly, your basement won’t flood, and your property value stays protected. You can move forward with confidence knowing the groundwork is solid.
We’ve been serving Adamsville since 1997, starting as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation in 2020. Josh and his son run this family business with one simple principle: the owner shows up.
That means Josh is on-site for almost every project, making sure the work meets the standards that have built our reputation in this community. We know Adamsville’s soil conditions, seasonal drainage patterns, and how water moves through local terrain.
You’re not just hiring equipment operators. You’re working with contractors who understand that proper grading in Adamsville means accounting for clay soil that holds water, slopes that need careful management, and seasonal conditions that affect how your property handles runoff year after year.
First, we walk your property to assess current drainage patterns and identify areas where water pools or flows incorrectly. We look at your soil type, existing slopes, and where water naturally wants to go based on your property’s topography.
Next, we develop a grading plan that works with your land’s natural characteristics while creating the proper slopes for drainage. This includes determining where to place soil, how to manage runoff, and ensuring the finished grade meets your project requirements.
Then we bring in professional equipment to move and level soil, creating stable ground with proper drainage slopes. We coordinate timing with other trades if you’re part of a larger construction project, ensuring your site is ready when the next phase needs to begin.
Finally, we compact where needed and verify that drainage flows correctly before considering the job complete. You get a property that’s ready for whatever comes next, whether that’s foundation work, landscaping, or simply better drainage around your existing home.

Your grading project includes site assessment, drainage planning, soil movement, and proper compaction using professional equipment designed for Adamsville’s specific soil conditions. We handle both rough grading for major elevation changes and fine grading for precise finish work.
Our land clearing services remove trees, stumps, brush, and debris while preserving topsoil that can be reused for finish grading. We coordinate with local regulations and handle the details that keep your project moving forward without delays.
In Adamsville, proper grading means understanding how our clay soils drain, how seasonal freeze-thaw cycles affect stability, and how to create slopes that handle spring runoff without erosion. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this area, and that experience shows in every project we complete.
Whether you’re preparing for new home construction, installing a septic system, or fixing drainage problems around an existing property, you get comprehensive site preparation that sets your project up for long-term success.
You need grading if water pools around your foundation after rain, your yard stays muddy for days, or you’re planning any construction that requires a level foundation. Standing water is the biggest warning sign that your property isn’t draining correctly.
Other indicators include uneven areas that are difficult to mow or use, erosion problems where soil washes away during heavy rain, or if you’re preparing to build anything that needs stable, level ground. Even existing homes can benefit from grading improvements if drainage problems are causing basement moisture, foundation settling, or unusable yard areas.
In Adamsville, our clay soils can hold water longer than other areas, making proper drainage even more critical for protecting your investment and maintaining usable outdoor space.
Rough grading establishes the basic shape and major elevation changes for your property, moving large amounts of soil to create the overall drainage patterns and slopes needed for your project. This is the heavy-lifting phase where we address major drainage issues and prepare the general contours.
Fine grading comes after rough grading and focuses on creating precise, smooth surfaces ready for the next phase of your project. This includes final elevation adjustments, detailed drainage channels, and preparing surfaces for foundations, driveways, or landscaping.
Most residential projects in Adamsville need both phases. Rough grading handles the big picture drainage and elevation issues, while fine grading ensures everything is ready for construction or landscaping with the exact specifications your project requires.
Most residential grading projects take 2-5 days depending on the size of your property, amount of soil that needs to be moved, and complexity of the drainage solutions required. Smaller projects like fixing drainage around an existing home might be completed in 1-2 days.
Larger projects involving extensive land clearing and site preparation for new construction typically take 3-7 days. Weather conditions, especially during spring and fall in Adamsville, can affect timing since we won’t work in conditions that compromise soil compaction or create muddy conditions.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial site assessment, and we stay in communication throughout the project so you know what to expect each day. Our goal is to complete your project efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that ensure long-term results.
We help navigate local requirements and can advise you on what permits may be needed for your specific project. Some grading work requires permits, especially if it involves significant drainage changes, work near wetlands, or major excavation for new construction.
For residential projects, many basic grading improvements don’t require permits, but we always check local regulations to make sure your project complies with Adamsville and Washington County requirements. We’ve worked with local officials for years and understand what triggers permit requirements.
We’ll discuss permit needs during our initial consultation and help you understand the process if permits are required. Our experience with local regulations helps prevent delays and ensures your project meets all necessary requirements from the start.
Yes, we regularly work around existing trees, landscaping, and structures that you want to preserve. Our equipment operators have the experience to make precise adjustments while protecting the features of your property that you want to keep.
We start by identifying what needs to be protected and plan our approach to minimize impact on existing landscaping. Sometimes we can work around mature trees and established garden areas, while other times we need to temporarily relocate plants or make adjustments to protect root systems.
For projects involving existing structures like sheds, patios, or retaining walls, we coordinate the grading work to complement these features rather than creating problems. The key is discussing your priorities during the planning phase so we can develop an approach that achieves your grading goals while preserving what matters most to you.
Grading costs depend on the size of your property, amount of soil that needs to be moved, complexity of drainage solutions, and whether land clearing is needed. Most residential grading projects in our area range from basic drainage improvements to comprehensive site preparation for new construction.
Factors that affect pricing include soil conditions, accessibility for our equipment, disposal requirements for cleared vegetation, and whether additional materials like fill dirt or stone are needed. Properties with challenging drainage or steep slopes require more time and specialized techniques.
We provide detailed estimates after assessing your property so you understand exactly what’s included and why. Our goal is to deliver value through quality work that solves your drainage problems permanently, rather than temporary fixes that need to be redone. We’ll discuss your budget and priorities to find the approach that gives you the results you need.
