Get Started
Land Grading Built for Construction-Ready Sites
Uneven ground causes water pooling, foundation problems, and delays for any project that follows. As a land grading contractor serving Monroe, Dundee, Milan, and the surrounding area, we correct slope, compaction, and drainage issues before they become expensive change orders.
Our team handles everything from rough cuts on raw acreage to finish grading service ahead of paving, seeding, or landscaping. We work with general contractors on active builds and with property owners preparing a single lot, adjusting our approach and equipment to match the job.
- Precision grading for building pads, driveways, and parking lots
- Positive drainage slopes to direct water away from structures
- Site leveling for pole barns, additions, and outbuildings
- Grading tied directly into land clearing and tree removal on the same site
- Compaction testing coordination for foundation-ready surfaces
- Erosion control measures built into the final grade
Our Process
What Our Grading Process Includes
Every land grading project starts with a site walk so we understand your soil conditions, drainage goals, and construction timeline. From there, our excavation contractor crews move dirt with the right equipment for the acreage and access involved, whether that's a compact skid steer on a tight residential lot or heavier machinery on a commercial parcel.
We stage grading work to keep projects moving without surprises:
- Site assessment and grading plan review with engineer specs or your build requirements
- Clearing and stump/root removal where trees or brush stand in the way
- Rough grading to establish base elevations and drainage direction
- Fine grading and finish grading service to hit exact slopes and tolerances
- Erosion control installation and site cleanup before handoff
- Final walkthrough to confirm the grade matches your plans
Because we also operate as a land clearing company and excavation contractor, we can address stumps, root systems, and vegetation without bringing in a second crew. That keeps development site preparation on one schedule instead of three separate ones.
Why Local Builders Choose Us
A Grading Partner That Understands Southeast Michigan Soil
Monroe County's clay-heavy soil and seasonal water table create grading challenges that generic excavation crews often underestimate. We've graded sites across Monroe, Erie, and Lambertville long enough to know how local conditions affect drainage and compaction.
-
Local Soil and Drainage Knowledge
We understand how Monroe County's clay and low-lying terrain behave through wet springs and frozen winters, so we grade slopes that actually hold up.
-
One Crew, Fewer Delays
Land clearing, stump removal, excavation, and grading all come from the same team, so your site prep stays on one schedule instead of juggling multiple subcontractors.
-
Equipment Matched to the Job
From compact machines for residential yards to full-size excavation equipment for commercial pads, we bring the right gear so grading gets done efficiently and correctly the first time.

Common Questions
Land Grading Questions
Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most from contractors and property owners planning a grading project.
Do you handle grading for both residential and commercial sites?
Yes. We grade single-family lots, additions, and driveways as well as larger commercial pads, parking lots, and multi-acre development sites. Equipment and crew size scale to match the job.
Can you grade a lot that still has trees, stumps, or brush on it?
Absolutely. Since we're also a land clearing company and stump removal service, we can clear vegetation, grind stumps, and remove roots before grading in one continuous project instead of hiring separate contractors.
How do you handle drainage during grading?
We establish positive slope away from structures and build in erosion control features as part of the finish grade. For commercial sites, we can also coordinate grading with engineer specifications and stormwater plans.
How soon can you start a grading project?
Timelines depend on site size, current conditions, and whether clearing work is needed first. Call (734) 497-2253 for a site visit and we'll give you a realistic schedule based on your project.
