Grading and site preparation

Grade is what decides where water goes. Get it right and you never think about it again. Get it wrong and you're living with it.

Building pads and site prep

Cut, fill and compact to the elevation the plan calls for. If the plan and the ground disagree — and on this terrain they sometimes do — we'll say so before the concrete truck is scheduled rather than after.

Driveways

New gravel drives, reworking a drive that's rutted or washing out, and the culvert and ditch work that keeps it from doing it again. A drive that fails is almost always a drainage problem wearing a gravel costume.

Yard grading

Reshaping ground that holds water, smoothing out a yard left rough by a builder, and finish grading with seed and straw so it comes back green.
