Dirt moved to a plan, not just pushed around. Building pads shot to grade, yards shaped so water leaves the house, cuts and fills balanced on site so you are not paying to haul dirt you already own.

What’s Included

Excavation & Grading
Done Properly

Dirt moved to a plan, not just pushed around. Building pads shot to grade, yards shaped so water leaves the house, cuts and fills balanced on site so you are not paying to haul dirt you already own.

  • Building pads cut and shot to grade
  • Yard and lot regrading for drainage
  • Cut-and-fill balanced on site
  • Footing and utility trenching
  • Driveway and road subgrade
  • Topsoil stripping, stockpiling and respread

Every job starts the same way: Rodney comes out, walks it with you, and tells you what he would do and what it will cost. If the job needs something we do not do, he will say that too.

Grading is the core of what Little Acres Grading does, and it is usually the first thing on site and the last thing before you seed.

Common Questions

Excavation & Grading — Common Questions

What people ask us most about this service.

What does excavation & grading cost?

It depends on access, how much material moves and what is under the surface, which is exactly why we come look rather than quote over the phone. The site visit is free and the number you get afterward is written down and does not move.

Do you do excavation & grading outside Gaston County?

Yes. We cover seven counties from our base in Cherryville — Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Burke, Caldwell, Cleveland and Rutherford — and there is no travel charge anywhere in that area.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the season and the weather — wet ground stops dirt work. We will give you a realistic window with the estimate rather than a date we cannot hold.

Is the crew insured?

Yes, $1 million in liability coverage. We can send a certificate to you or your builder before we start.
