Shape Your Terrain With Our Grading Services
Our grading services reshape your property’s terrain to create a more usable and attractive outdoor space. We carefully contour the land to improve drainage, prevent erosion, and provide an ideal foundation for landscaping or construction projects.
We use laser-guided equipment for precise grading, ensuring consistent slopes and proper water flow. Our team can create both rough and finish grades, depending on your project needs. For Cleveland’s often clay-rich soil, we typically grade for a minimum 2% slope away from structures to ensure adequate drainage.
Prepare for Construction With Our Excavation Services
Our excavation services cover all aspects of site preparation. We clear land and remove rocks, stumps, and debris to create a clean slate for your project. Our team digs foundations and basements, carves out space for ponds or water features, and trenches for utility lines and drainage systems.
We employ a variety of excavation equipment to match each job’s unique needs. From compact machines that maneuver in tight spaces to larger earth-movers for extensive projects, we have the right tools on hand. Our skilled operators work carefully around existing structures and landscaping to avoid damage. In rocky areas common to parts of Northeast Ohio, we use specialized rock-breaking equipment to efficiently clear your site.
Benefits of Professional Grading and Excavating
Grading and excavating prepare your property for construction or landscaping. You can choose to schedule one or both services. Some benefits of grading and excavating include
Improved Drainage
Proper grading directs water away from buildings, preventing foundation damage, basement flooding, and soil erosion. It also reduces standing water that can lead to mosquito problems and landscape damage.
Better Landscape Health
Correct grading helps plant roots receive the right amount of water, promoting healthier growth and reducing the risk of root rot or drought stress. This is particularly important for Cleveland's diverse plant life, from shade trees to ornamental gardens.
Structural Protection
By directing water away from buildings, proper grading helps protect your home or business from costly water damage and structural issues. This is especially critical during Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, which can result in foundation problems if water isn't properly managed.
Efficient Construction Preparation
Proper excavation lays the groundwork for smooth, efficient construction projects, potentially saving time and money in the long run. Our precise work can reduce the need for additional fill or removal during construction.
Erosion Control
Strategic grading can help control soil erosion, preserving your landscape and preventing sediment runoff into local water systems. This is particularly important for properties near Lake Erie or local streams.
Testimonials
We have been working with Dom and his crew for over a year. They’ve done an amazing job maintaining our lawn and beds – they take care of it like its their own! I love that we don’t have to think about it. In addition to that they did a full back yard renovation for us this spring. From conception to completion it was a great process. He took care of the full approval process in our town, and the work has been high quality. We are so excited for our new backyard! Dom is an incredibly hard worker. He takes pride in everything he does, and his work ethic is unmatched. I can also say the same about his crew.
