Details That Matter Most

Proper grading prevents water from pooling near foundations, driveways, and structures while creating a level surface that supports construction or landscaping. In Chapel Hill, where clay soil and rolling terrain are common, grading must account for drainage patterns and compaction to avoid settling or erosion over time.

American Dirtworks uses professional-grade equipment to achieve accurate cuts and consistent compaction across your site. We ensure proper slope for drainage and long-term structural stability, whether you're building a home, adding a driveway, or leveling a yard. Our owner stays involved throughout the project, answering questions and adjusting the plan as needed to meet your goals.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Below are answers to the most common questions we receive from property owners and builders planning grading projects in Chapel Hill and nearby areas.

How do you ensure proper drainage during grading?
We evaluate your property's natural slope and water flow, then grade to create positive drainage away from structures. This prevents pooling and protects foundations and driveways from water damage.
Can you grade around existing trees or features?
Yes, we work carefully around trees, utilities, and other features you want to preserve, adjusting the grade to maintain stability and drainage without disturbing protected areas.
How long does grading take?
Most residential grading projects in Chapel Hill take one to three days depending on site size, soil conditions, and complexity. Larger sites or challenging terrain may take longer.
Do you compact the soil after grading?
Yes, we use professional equipment to compact soil properly, reducing the risk of settling and ensuring a stable base for driveways, foundations, or landscaping.
Can grading fix an uneven yard?
Absolutely. We level uneven areas, smooth out low spots, and correct slopes to improve usability, appearance, and drainage across your property.
