Professional grading that prevents water problems and keeps your construction project moving forward smoothly.
When your property is graded correctly, water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around it. Your building inspector signs off without delays or costly revisions. Your foundation stays stable because the ground beneath it was prepared to handle the load properly.
You avoid the headaches that come with poor drainage – no more standing water after storms, no basement moisture issues, no erosion eating away at your landscaping. The site is ready for the next phase of construction on schedule.
Your investment is protected from day one because the groundwork was done right the first time.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling grading projects throughout Putnam County for years. We understand how water moves across this terrain and what it takes to create proper drainage on sloped lots.
We’ve worked with the local soil conditions – from rocky areas that need special attention to clay soils that require different grading approaches. Our operators know how to work efficiently while protecting the surrounding landscape.
When you need grading done right in Putnam, you’re working with contractors who’ve been solving drainage and site prep challenges in this area long enough to get it right the first time.
First, we survey your property to understand the existing drainage patterns and identify any problem areas. We review your building plans to determine the exact elevations and slopes needed for proper water flow and foundation stability.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific site conditions. We remove or add soil as needed to create the proper grades, always working from high points to low points to establish natural drainage patterns.
Throughout the process, we compact the soil in lifts to prevent settling and ensure a stable base for construction. We finish with fine grading to meet the exact specifications your project requires.
Before we leave, we verify all slopes and elevations meet your plans and local code requirements. Your site is ready for the next phase of construction.

We coordinate with your other contractors to ensure proper timing – working after utilities are installed but before concrete work begins. Our operators understand how grading impacts every other trade on your project.
For Putnam County properties, we pay special attention to environmental considerations and watershed protection requirements. We know which areas need extra care and how to handle runoff properly to meet local regulations while protecting your investment.
