Land Grade Solutions transformed our muddy, unworkable lot into a perfectly graded build site in just two days. Professional, punctual, and the drainage work they did is flawless. First heavy rain after they left and not a drop of standing water.

We've used a lot of site prep contractors over the years building custom homes in the Hickory area. Land Grade is the only crew we call now. They show up when they say they will, they don't leave surprises for the foundation guys, and they communicate throughout the job. That's rare.

Had a retaining wall fail that another contractor had built three years prior. Land Grade came out, diagnosed the drainage problem immediately, and rebuilt it correctly. Two winters later it hasn't moved an inch. I wish I'd called them first.

Our backyard had flooded every spring for six years. Two other contractors looked at it and gave us solutions that didn't work. Land Grade walked the property, explained exactly what was causing the problem, and fixed it properly. They knew what they were doing from the minute they got out of the truck.

I needed a four-acre wooded lot cleared and rough graded before winter. They fit us into their schedule on short notice, walked the lot with us to flag what we wanted to keep, and left it cleaner than I expected. Called them back the following spring to do the finish grade.

The terraced patio they built on our hillside lot in Hudson has held up through three winters without a single issue. They were meticulous about the base work — you could tell they'd done this before and knew exactly what the clay soil up here does in a freeze. Really impressive crew.

As a general contractor I've worked with a lot of excavation crews. What sets Land Grade apart is they assess the site before they commit to anything. They found a rock shelf on a Burke County lot that would have wrecked our foundation timeline — and they flagged it before we'd poured a dollar of concrete.

We had a slope on our Watauga County property that had been eroding badly for years — a previous build had cleared it and never properly stabilized it. Land Grade came in, regraded, installed check dams, and seeded with a mix that actually established. The hill has been solid ever since.
