Set the grade once and let the water go where you told it to.
Coastal Georgia gets rain in sheets, and flat sandy ground does not forgive a bad grade. Water finds the lowest point on your property whether or not you planned for it, and the cheapest time to decide where that point is happens to be right now, before anything is built on it.

What this service actually gets you.
Coastal Georgia gets rain in sheets, and flat sandy ground does not forgive a bad grade. Water finds the lowest point on your property whether or not you planned for it, and the cheapest time to decide where that point is happens to be right now, before anything is built on it.
We shape pads, yards, drives and swales with fall that actually moves water, then check the grade before we call it done. It is unglamorous work, and it is the difference between a dry crawlspace and a standing problem every spring.
Price my projectBest suited for
- Building pads for homes, shops and barns
- Yards that hold water after every rain
- Driveway base and culvert placement
- Drainage swales and positive fall away from foundations
- Pond banks and shoreline shaping
- Final grade before sod, seed or gravel
Water first, dirt second
Before anything moves we work out where the water is coming from and where it needs to go. Most drainage complaints on a coastal lot are not a mystery, they are a low corner with nowhere to drain and a driveway acting as a dam. Fix the path and the puddle stops being your problem.
- Existing drainage paths walked and mapped
- Swales cut where the water actually wants to run
- Culverts and pipe sized for the flow, not for the invoice
Pads built in lifts and compacted
Fill dropped in one dump and smoothed over looks perfect on day one and settles by fall. We place material in lifts, compact each one, and build the pad up to the elevation your builder gave us so nothing has to be reworked after the forms are set.
- Organics stripped before any fill goes down
- Fill placed and compacted in controlled lifts
- Pad set to the elevation your plans call for
The finish is what you actually live with
A rough grade that is close enough leaves you buying dirt later. We box the edges, feather the transitions into existing grade, and hand the site over ready for gravel, sod or a slab crew instead of ready for one more contractor.
- Clean boxed edges and feathered transitions
- Surface raked and ready for gravel, seed or sod
- Elevation confirmed before the machines load out
Every grading job includes this, no upsell required.
- Drainage assessment and grade plan walked with you on site
- Topsoil and organics stripped from the build footprint
- Cut and fill balanced on site wherever possible
- Fill placed and compacted in lifts to target elevation
- Swales, crowns and positive fall away from structures
- Final laser check and walkthrough before load out
What moves the number up or down.
We do not publish a flat rate because no two properties in Effingham County are the same. Density, access, terrain and how much has to leave the site are what set the price. Here is roughly how jobs sort out.
Regrading a problem area, cutting a swale and restoring fall around a structure.
Strip, fill, compact and set a house or shop pad to plan elevation.
Larger pads, parking areas and drives, coordinated with your engineer or GC.

When the site cannot balance on its own, yes. We source clean fill locally and include the material and hauling as a line on your quote so you know exactly what the dirt is costing you.
Usually it is. Standing water on a flat lot is almost always a fall problem, a blocked path, or a driveway sitting higher than the ground behind it. We walk it, tell you what is actually happening, and quote the correction.
Absolutely. Send us the plan and the target elevations and we will build to them and coordinate directly with your builder on timing.
Yes, including the county driveway pipe where a permit and a specific size are required. We handle the placement, bedding and backfill.
For most residential pads you can bring in a foundation crew right behind us. If we placed significant fill we will tell you honestly whether the pad should sit and settle first.
Keep the same crew on the whole job.
