What Is Dirt Work and Grading?

Dirt work includes all the heavy-duty tasks involved in moving, leveling, or shaping the soil on your property. Grading is the process of creating a smooth, level surface – or establishing the right slope – to ensure water runoff flows away from your foundation or structures.



These services are critical for:



Site preparation before construction
Drainage and erosion control
Creating level pads for homes, shops, or barns
Driveway installation
Sloping land for proper runoff
