Land Grading & Excavation in Philadelphia
Sometimes before starting a hardscaping or landscaping project, you need to grade the area. Especially certain areas of Philadelphia that tend to be hilly. Grading involves reshaping and leveling the land to make the ground more stable and ensure good drainage. Depending on your needs, the ground can be graded flat (to place a patio) or sloped (to channel water away from your home or business). Our team can assess your property and determine if any grading or excavation is needed for your project.
We use trenching machines and excavators to install large pipes or get your land ready for certain landscaping or hardscaping projects.
