What Is Site Grading?

Site grading shapes raw land into the proper elevation and slope so that water drains, buildings stand level, and construction can proceed safely. It's the critical foundation step for any building project.

Excavation removes soil or rock to reach the correct elevation.
Fill and Compaction add engineered soil and compress it to support structures.
Slope Management creates swales or slopes so water flows away from buildings.
Drainage Systems may include catch basins, culverts, or detention areas to manage stormwater.

Poor grading leads to foundation failure, flooding, and costly repairs. Proper grading—done right the first time—protects your investment for decades.
