About Grading and Site Preparation

Grading and Site Preparation Done Well

Every lasting patio begins in the dirt. We clear the area, excavate to the right depth, correct the grade for drainage and compact a base that will not settle.

We handle utilities marking, soil removal, base installation and rough grading, so the finish work starts on solid ground.

Call 615-209-7643

A careful study, a base built right and details that make a patio a pleasure to use, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

Questions About Grading and Site Preparation

Still have a question?

Call 615-209-7643

Why does the base matter so much?

The base carries the load and sheds water. Most patio problems, like sinking and heaving, trace back to a weak or poorly compacted base.

Do you call before you dig?

Yes. Underground utilities are located and marked before any digging starts.

How do I request a consultation?

Call 615-209-7643 or send the form on this page. Tell us about your yard and what you have in mind, and send photos if you have them. We follow up and set a time to talk or to visit.

Can I combine this with other services?

Yes. Most projects combine several services, such as design, base work, a patio, a structure and lighting, and we plan them in a sensible order.
