Grading & Site Prep

Consistent care that protects your investment and keeps your outdoor spaces in top condition.

Service Overview

What We Deliver

Grading is the foundation of every outdoor project. Without proper slope and drainage, water pools against foundations, lawns stay soggy, and hardscape installations fail. LC & Son provides professional grading and site preparation for new construction, renovations, and landscape projects.

We handle rough grading for new lots, finish grading for lawn preparation, drainage correction, and site clearing. Our work ensures water flows away from structures and across the property as intended.

Whether you’re preparing a new lot for construction or fixing drainage problems on an existing property, proper grading solves the problem at the source.

Why Go Professional

The Professional Difference

Grading mistakes cause water damage, foundation issues, and failed landscaping. Proper grading requires understanding soil types, drainage patterns, and local codes.

FAQ

Grading & Site Prep FAQ

Common questions about our grading & site prep services.

How do I know if my property needs regrading?

Signs include water pooling near your foundation, soggy spots in the yard, erosion channels, or basement moisture. We provide free drainage assessments to identify grading issues.

What equipment do you use for grading?

We use skid steers, mini excavators, and laser-guided grading equipment to achieve precise, consistent grades across your property.

Can grading fix my basement water problems?

In many cases, yes. Improper grading is a leading cause of basement water issues. Correcting the slope away from your foundation often resolves the problem at the source.

Do you handle grading for new construction?

Yes. We provide both rough grading during construction and finish grading to prepare the property for lawn installation, landscaping, and drainage.

How long does a grading project take?

Small residential regrading projects typically take 1–2 days. Larger new construction or full-property grading may take 3–5 days depending on scope.
