Pricing depends on the size of the area, how much material must be cut, filled, or hauled away, existing slope severity, soil and rock conditions, and access for equipment. Tree stumps, buried debris, or the need to import fill soil also add cost. We walk the site, take measurements, and provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Most residential lots and driveway regrades take one to three days of active machine time once we mobilize. Larger commercial sites, extensive drainage corrections, or projects requiring imported fill and multiple compaction passes take longer. Weather matters too—saturated ground from spring melt or heavy rain can delay work until soil moisture is workable.
Late spring through fall generally offers the most workable conditions. Frozen ground in winter makes cutting and compacting impractical, and early spring thaw often leaves soil too wet to grade properly. Scheduling early in the season helps secure your spot, since dry stretches fill up quickly for us and other contractors.
Often, yes. We assess your topography, soil, and existing drainage patterns to determine whether regrading alone will redirect water, or whether it should be combined with swales, drain tile, or a dry well. Some problems stem from downspouts, compacted clay, or a neighboring property, and we will tell you what we find.
Utility locates are required, and we arrange them before digging. Permits depend on project scope—work involving significant grade changes, stormwater runoff, or proximity to wetlands or shorelines may require approval from the City of Superior or Douglas County. We help identify what applies to your site during the estimate process.
The graded area will be shaped to the planned contours, compacted, and ready for its next step—footings, concrete, sod, or seed. We clean up construction debris and haul off excess material as agreed. Disturbed edges and equipment tracks are smoothed, though final landscaping or seeding is quoted separately if you want us to handle it.
