Rough and finish grading for lots, pads, driveways, and yards - shaped so water runs where it should and the ground stays put. Free estimate, no pressure.
Grading is shaping the dirt - cutting the high spots, filling the low ones, and setting the slope so the ground is flat where it needs to be and drains where it should. Done wrong, everything downstream suffers. Done right, you never think about it again.
Around Binghamton, folks call us to grade for:
Water going somewhere it shouldn't? That's usually a grading problem - and usually a fixable one. Give us a look.
Whether it's a first rough cut or a fine finish before sod or stone, we set the ground the way the job needs it.
A grading job can cover any of this, depending on where your site is at:
Four steps. We look at how water moves before we cut a thing.
We check the grades, the low spots, and where water wants to go.
A clear written number for the work - by the job or the day.
We cut, fill, and shape the ground to a flat, draining surface.
We compact it solid and leave a finish that's ready for what's next.
Every site grades differently, so we look first, then give you an honest number. What moves it:
Big cut-and-fill takes more machine time than a light touch-up.
A simple flat pad is quick; real water problems take more shaping.
Steep, wet, or tight ground slows the work down.
Bringing in fill or hauling out excess adds material and trucking.

Usually, yes. Water pooling near a house or across a yard is almost always a grading issue. We look at how the ground slopes, then re-shape it to move water away clean. We'll tell you honestly whether grading solves it or if there's more to it.
Rough grading gets the site close - the right shape and slope for building. Finish grading is the fine pass that sets it exactly, ready for sod, stone, or a slab. Some jobs need both; we'll tell you which yours needs.
That's a common one. A driveway that washes out is usually flat or pitched wrong. We regrade it with a proper crown and slope so water runs off instead of cutting ruts down the middle.
We can. If there's not enough material on site to build the grade, we'll price bringing in clean fill. If there's too much, we'll price hauling the excess off.
One local crew for the whole property - clearing, dirt work, and the trees on it.
