Our Grading Services

Local Land Grading Company

We are a reliable grading contractor for customers throughout Davenport and the surrounding Quad City area. Whether you're prepping a site for construction, fixing drainage issues, or reshaping uneven ground, our team has the experience and equipment to get the job done right. We work on residential and commercial projects of all sizes, focusing on proper grading, leveling, and long-term land stability. From the bluffs near the Mississippi River to the flatter lots on the west side of town, we understand the local landscape.

Residential Grading Services

Good grading is essential for protecting your home from drainage problems, foundation damage, and erosion. We handle residential grading projects like yard leveling, slope adjustments, and preparing the ground for landscaping or outbuildings. From rough cuts to final smoothing, we make sure your property is shaped with care and precision.

Commercial Grading Services

For builders, contractors, and property managers, we offer full-service commercial grading solutions. Our services include site prep, subgrade leveling, drainage grading, and compacting. Whether it’s a new construction site, parking lot, or access road, we help create a solid foundation for the work ahead.

Rough Grading Services

Rough grading is the first major step in reshaping a site. It involves moving dirt, clearing debris, and forming the basic slope and contour of the land. This sets the groundwork for everything that follows—drainage, construction, and landscaping. Our crew utilizes the right tools and techniques to ensure your project is started on solid ground. This is especially important in areas like Blue Grass and Walcott, where uneven terrain can complicate new builds.

Finish Grading & Final Grading Services

Finish grading comes after the rough work is done. This step smooths the surface, corrects elevations, and prepares the area for whatever comes next—whether it's laying sod, pouring concrete, or building structures. Final grading ensures proper drainage and a clean, level finish for your site.

Landscape Leveling and Yard Grading

Uneven lawns and poor yard drainage can lead to water problems and make outdoor spaces hard to use. We offer grading services that improve the function and appearance of your yard. Whether you’re adding landscaping, fixing a slope, or prepping for a new project, we’ll help create a surface that works and looks better. Our team knows how to handle the spring thaw and heavy rains that are common in this part of Iowa.

Ditch Cutting and Ditch Maintenance

Proper ditches help manage water flow and protect your property from erosion and flooding. We provide ditch cutting services for new drainage lines as well as regrading and clearing existing ditches. Whether you're on a residential lot, rural property, or construction site, we help keep water moving where it should.

Drainage & Erosion Control

Grading is a crucial aspect of preventing water from accumulating around buildings and minimizing soil erosion. We create grading plans that direct water runoff safely and reduce erosion risks around structures, slopes, and yards. A well-graded property stays drier, more stable, and easier to maintain over time.

Grading Around New Homes

New construction doesn’t always leave a property with proper grading. We help fix elevation issues, fill low spots, and ensure water drains away from foundations. If your home was recently built and you notice pooling or uneven areas, we can assess the grading and make adjustments to protect your investment.

Precision Laser Leveling

When accuracy matters, we use laser-guided leveling tools to shape surfaces with tight tolerances. This service is ideal for driveways, pads, sidewalks, and other flatwork that requires smooth, even bases. With laser precision, we can ensure consistent results and avoid drainage problems before they start.

Recent Grading Projects in the Davenport Area

We recently completed grading and base prep for a 250-foot gravel driveway on a residential property near Eldridge. The project included rough grading to reshape the slope, followed by compacting and final grading to ensure proper drainage before gravel was installed.

Another project involved grading a 1,000-square-foot gravel parking lot for a small warehouse just outside Bettendorf. Our team cleared the site, leveled the ground using laser-guided equipment, and compacted the base to support consistent traffic flow.
