Yard grading is crucial for directing water away from your home and preventing issues like soil erosion, flooding, and foundation damage.

Beyond functional benefits, proper grading sets the stage for stunning landscaping features, such as gardens, lawns, and patios, that are not only beautiful but also resilient to the elements.

Our drainage improvement services begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your property’s terrain, soil composition, and existing drainage systems.

By improving your property’s drainage, we help prevent water pooling, reduce the risk of flooding, and protect your investment from long-term water-related damage. With our professional drainage solutions, you can enjoy a safer, more resilient property that stands up to the challenges of heavy rainfall and changing weather conditions.

Agricultural Grading



Agricultural grading is really important for making sure your farm is ready for planting, watering, and harvesting. At Area Excavating & Land Improvement, we help farmers get their land in the best shape for growing crops. Whether you need to prepare fields, set up watering systems, or stop soil from washing away, our team knows how to get the job done.

Good grading helps control where water goes, stops soil from eroding, and helps plants grow strong. We start by looking at your land to understand its shape, soil, and how water moves across it. Then, we create a plan to make sure your fields are even and well-drained so water gets to where it’s needed. With our help, your farm will be ready for planting, and your crops will have the best chance to grow healthy and strong.

Road and Parking Lot Construction

At Area Excavating & Land Improvement, we help create strong and smooth roads and parking lots that last a long time. Whether you need a new road for your neighborhood or a parking lot for your business, our team knows how to do it right.

First, we prepare the ground by leveling it and making sure it's ready for heavy vehicles. Then, we carefully lay down the materials, like gravel and asphalt, to create a sturdy surface. We make sure the road or parking lot is smooth and has good drainage, so water doesn’t cause damage. With our help, you’ll have a safe and reliable place for cars and trucks to drive and park.

Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization

Erosion control and slope stabilization are crucial for protecting your land from the damaging effects of water and wind. At Area Excavating & Land Improvement, we specialize in helping you keep your property safe and stable, especially in areas where soil might wash away or where slopes are at risk of sliding. Whether you’re dealing with steep hillsides, riverbanks, or other erosion-prone areas, our team has the expertise to prevent erosion and stabilize slopes.



We start by assessing the specific needs of your land to determine the best solution for controlling erosion. This might include installing retaining walls, planting vegetation, or using special materials like geotextiles to hold the soil in place. Our goal is to stop soil from washing away and to keep slopes from moving, which can prevent damage to your property and nearby structures. With our erosion control and slope stabilization services, you can protect your land from natural forces and ensure it remains safe and secure for years to come.

Foundation Grading for Water Management



Foundation grading for water management is essential for protecting your home or building from water damage. At Area Excavating & Land Improvement, we specialize in grading the land around your foundation to ensure water flows away from your structure, rather than pooling around it. Proper grading helps prevent issues like basement flooding, foundation cracks, and soil erosion, keeping your property safe and dry.

Our team begins by carefully evaluating the slope of your land and identifying any areas where water might collect. We then adjust the grading around your foundation, creating a gentle slope that directs water away from your home or building. By managing water flow effectively, we help protect your foundation from moisture-related problems, extending the life of your property and preventing costly repairs. With our foundation grading services, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is well-protected against water damage.
