Earthwork & Material Moving

Dirt, rock, gravel, grading — the heavy work that quietly fixes everything else.

The Approach

A surprising number of landscape problems are actually grading problems — water that pools against the foundation, beds that wash out every spring, drives that puddle. We run skid steers, compact track loaders, mini-excavators, and dump trailers, so we can move serious material on residential lots without tearing up the rest of the property. Whether it's a few yards of topsoil for a new lawn or a complete regrade for drainage, we have the equipment and the operators.

Scope of Work

What’s included.

Specifics, not generics. If it’s not on this list and you need it, ask — we likely do it.

  • Topsoil, gravel, sand, and decorative stone delivery
  • Bulk material spreading with skid steers and loaders
  • Grading and leveling for new lawns or hardscape prep
  • Drainage correction (swales, French drains, surface contouring)

  • Driveway base prep and re-grading
  • Mini-excavator work in tight residential spaces
How We Run It

Our process for earthwork.

  1. STEP 01

    Site evaluation

    Walk the property in dry and (ideally) wet conditions to identify drainage and grading issues.

  2. STEP 02

    Engineering review

    On larger projects, we coordinate with a civil engineer if scope warrants it.

  3. STEP 03

    Material delivery and move

    Stage material, move with the right equipment for the access — skid steer to mini-ex.

  4. STEP 04

    Final grade and restore

    Final grading, seed/sod restoration of any disturbed areas, walk-through with you.
