Professional grading that prevents drainage headaches and foundation problems down the road.
You get a building site that drains properly. Water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around it, which means no basement flooding, no foundation cracks, and no expensive repairs five years from now.
Your construction timeline stays on track. When the site is prepped correctly from day one, your builder doesn’t hit surprises that cause delays and cost overruns.
You avoid the nightmare of dealing with settling issues later. Proper compaction and grading mean your driveway won’t crack, your foundation won’t shift, and your landscaping won’t need constant fixing because the ground keeps moving.
We’ve been handling site preparation in Barkersville and surrounding areas for years. We understand how New York soil behaves through freeze-thaw cycles and what it takes to create stable building sites.
Our operators know the difference between clay that needs special handling and sandy soil that drains too fast. We’ve worked with the local building department enough times to know what they’re looking for in site plans and drainage requirements.
When you call us, you’re getting contractors who’ve seen what happens when grading is done wrong—and more importantly, we know how to do it right the first time.
First, we walk your property with you to understand what you’re building and identify any drainage challenges or soil issues. We look at where water naturally wants to go and plan the grading to work with that flow, not against it.
Next, we strip and stockpile your topsoil so it doesn’t get mixed with subsoil during excavation. Most contractors skip this step, but you’ll want that good soil back for final grading and landscaping.
Then we cut and fill to establish the right elevations for your foundation and create positive drainage away from the building. We use laser-guided equipment to hit exact grades—not eyeballing it like some crews do.
Finally, we compact everything properly and do a final grade check. Your site is ready for the foundation crew, and you can be confident water will flow where it’s supposed to.
Ready to get started?
You get complete site preparation from rough grading to final elevations. We handle the initial site clearing, establish proper drainage patterns, and create the exact foundation elevations your builder needs.
We also manage the soil properly throughout the process. That means separating topsoil from subsoil, importing fill material when needed, and making sure everything is compacted to prevent settling issues later.
Our grading work includes creating proper access routes for other contractors, establishing drainage swales and retention areas where required, and coordinating with utility companies for safe excavation around existing lines. You get a site that’s ready for construction without surprises that slow down your project.
