Professional grading that prevents water problems and passes inspections every time.
When your property is graded correctly, water flows away from your foundation instead of toward it. You won’t deal with basement flooding, foundation cracks, or the nightmare of fixing drainage issues after construction is complete.
Your building permits get approved faster because the grading meets local Malta codes from day one. Inspectors see professional work that follows Saratoga County requirements, so you avoid delays and re-work that cost time and money.
The right site preparation means your contractor can start building immediately instead of dealing with drainage corrections or soil issues that should have been handled during the grading phase.
We’ve been handling site preparation in Malta and throughout Saratoga County for years. We understand how water moves across different properties in the area and what local inspectors expect to see.
Our equipment operators know the difference between clay soils that hold water and sandy areas that drain fast. This matters because Malta’s varied terrain requires different grading approaches depending on your specific lot.
We work with the same local contractors, inspectors, and suppliers regularly, so your project moves smoothly from grading through final construction.
First, we survey your property to understand the natural water flow and identify any drainage challenges. We review your building plans to ensure the final grade supports your foundation design and meets setback requirements.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. For most residential projects, this means our grader and compaction equipment. For larger commercial sites, we might use dozers and more specialized machinery.
We establish the proper slope away from your building area, typically a minimum 6-inch drop over the first 10 feet. We also ensure water directs toward appropriate drainage areas or storm management systems.
Finally, we compact the soil to prevent settling and verify all grades match your construction plans. You get a site that’s ready for your foundation contractor to start work immediately.

Your grading service includes initial site assessment, clearing and removal of unsuitable materials, establishing proper drainage slopes, and final grade preparation. We handle both rough grading for initial site prep and finish grading for final landscaping preparation.
For new home construction in Malta, we coordinate with your foundation contractor to ensure the excavation and grading work together seamlessly. This prevents issues where the foundation work doesn’t match the intended final grade.
We also address any unique site conditions common in our area, like dealing with seasonal water issues or working around existing mature trees that you want to preserve. Each property in Malta has different challenges, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
