Professional grading that prevents water problems and keeps your project moving forward smoothly.
You’re looking at a piece of land that needs to become something. Maybe it’s the foundation for your new home, or a commercial project that’s been in the works for months. Either way, you need the ground prepared right the first time.
Proper grading means water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around it. It means your building inspector doesn’t flag drainage issues that could delay your project for weeks. It means you don’t wake up to a flooded basement five years from now wondering why nobody told you about proper slope requirements.
When the grading is done correctly, your foundation contractor can start on schedule. Your project stays on track. And you avoid the headaches that come with water where it shouldn’t be.
We’ve been handling site work in Rockhurst and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how water moves through local soil types and what it takes to create proper drainage for both residential and commercial projects.
Our operators know where the utilities typically run and how to work around existing septic systems without creating expensive problems. We carry full licensing and insurance because this work matters, and mistakes can be costly.
When contractors and homeowners in Rockhurst need grading done right, they call us because we show up when we say we will and finish the job properly.
First, we walk the site with you to understand what you’re building and identify any potential drainage issues or obstacles. We’ll mark utilities and note any existing features that need protection during the work.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. For most residential grading, that means our excavator and bulldozer. For larger commercial sites, we might need additional machinery. We remove excess soil, add fill where needed, and create the proper slopes for drainage.
Finally, we fine-tune the grades to match your construction plans and local code requirements. We make sure water will flow away from your foundation and toward appropriate drainage areas. Before we leave, the site is ready for your next contractor to start work immediately.

Our grading service covers everything needed to prepare your site for construction. We handle rough grading to establish basic drainage patterns, fine grading to meet exact elevation requirements, and finish grading around completed foundations.
For new home construction in Rockhurst, we work closely with your builder to ensure proper drainage away from the foundation. This includes creating swales where needed and establishing positive drainage to prevent water from pooling near your home.
We also handle any necessary excavation work that goes along with grading, including digging for utilities, creating access roads, and removing unsuitable soil. Our goal is to deliver a site that’s ready for the next phase of your project without delays or surprises.
