Grading & Excavation Experts Serving Chattanooga and Surrounding Areas

Proper grading and excavation create the foundation for everything that comes after — whether that’s building a home, installing utilities, or shaping a new landscape. Our crew uses professional equipment and proven techniques to ensure your site is safe, stable, and ready for construction. Every project begins with careful assessment of soil conditions, drainage patterns, and elevation to ensure long-lasting results.

Site Preparation

Before construction begins, the land must be properly cleared, leveled, and compacted.

We take care of every step, from removing debris to shaping the terrain to match your building plans.

With precise grading and clean excavation, we create a work-ready site that supports a smooth construction process and minimizes future issues caused by settling, erosion, or improper elevations.

Erosion & Drainage Control

Water management is a critical part of any property’s stability.

With the right grading, you can prevent erosion, foundation damage, and costly future repairs.

We design slopes and drainage paths that direct water safely away from buildings and high-traffic areas. Whether you’re dealing with pooling water, runoff, or a sloped property, we can correct the grade and protect your investment.
