Home Site Grading in Metro Atlanta, GA

Yes, site grading is needed before construction to create a stable, level base and direct water away from your foundation. Without it, Georgia's red clay soil and heavy rainfall can cause settling, pooling, and structural damage.

Water pooling near your foundation after rain is the clearest sign of a grading problem. You may also notice soil washing away, damp crawl spaces, or cracks forming along your foundation walls.

Yes, we grade sloped and hilly lots across Georgia using cut-and-fill methods to create level building pads and proper drainage channels. Hilly terrain in areas like North Georgia requires specific equipment and soil handling to get stable results.

The grade should drop at least 6 inches over the first 10 feet away from your foundation. This slope keeps surface water moving away from your home rather than soaking into the soil against your walls.

Yes, we prepare new construction sites across Georgia with grading that meets builder and engineering specs. We clear, grade, and compact the lot so your foundation crew has a stable, properly sloped surface to work from.

Georgia's red clay soil absorbs water slowly and shifts as it wets and dries, making precise grading and compaction more demanding than in states with sandy soil. A grading plan built for Georgia's soil conditions protects your property through the state's heavy seasonal rainfall.
