Grading Contractors Near Me
Grading moves dirt so water runs away from a house, a driveway drains, or a lot is level enough to build on. The 1,895 contractors below, across 18 states, list grading, dirt work or site preparation on their Google profiles. Compare their reviews, equipment and the jobs they take. For a yard or drainage fix, a skid steer or track loader is often enough. For a house pad, ask about stripping the topsoil, engineered fill and compaction testing, because a pad that settles cracks the foundation. Excavation and grading are busiest in March and April.

Common questions
What is the difference between grading and excavation?
Grading shapes the surface: slopes, drainage, a level pad. Excavation digs below it for basements, footings, ponds and trenches. Many companies do both; each profile lists the jobs the company takes.
Do I need to call 811 before grading?
Yes. Grading moves soil, and buried lines can be shallow. The contractor should open an 811 ticket two to three business days ahead; it is free.
