Excavation & Grading
Professional Excavation & Grading for Illinois Land
When your project depends on solid groundwork, half-measures and shortcuts create expensive headaches down the road.
We shape land the right way: with GPS precision and an understanding of how Central Illinois clay behaves through wet springs and harsh winters.
Professional site preparation for residential and commercial projects
Soil compaction testing to prevent settling and structural issues
Complete drainage evaluation to protect your property investment
Designed for Central Illinois Soil and Weather
Clay-heavy soil, unpredictable spring weather, and freeze-thaw cycles demand excavation techniques that account for what actually happens here. Our methods work with Central Illinois conditions, not against them.

How We Grade Your Property
Our grading process works with Central Illinois clay, spring flooding, and freeze-thaw cycles to create lasting results.
Evaluate existing drainage patterns and water flow issues
Test soil density to ensure proper compaction and stability
Shape land to handle seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains
Watch Out For These Warning Signs!
Bad grading shows up fast and gets expensive. What looks like a minor slope issue during dry weather becomes a major headache when spring rains hit or winter freeze-thaw cycles start working on your property.
Water pools around foundations causing basement flooding and structural damage
Driveways wash out every spring requiring constant rock and repair
Uneven settling creates cracks in concrete and shifts in building foundations
Poor drainage turns yards into swampy areas that stay wet for weeks
