Excavation & Land Grading Services

Prepare Your Land the Right Way From the Start

Every solid project starts with proper groundwork. Whether you're building an addition, installing a new driveway, or fixing drainage problems, the land needs to be graded and prepped correctly before anything else happens. Poor grading causes water to pool, foundations to settle, and projects to fail years later. We move dirt, level sites, and create slopes that direct water away from structures so your property works the way it should.

We own excavators, skid steers, and grading equipment that handle residential and light commercial work. Our crew knows how to read a site, understand existing drainage patterns, and make cuts that don't create new problems. We've prepped sites for new construction, regraded yards to fix flooding issues, and cleared land for driveways and outbuildings. Each project gets the equipment and attention it needs to meet your timeline and specs.

Why Choose Wilmes Lawn Care for Excavation & Land Grading Services

We Own Our Heavy Equipment – Our excavators and graders stay busy on our projects, not sitting in a rental yard. That means we start when we say we will and don't wait on availability.
Experience Reading Land and Water Flow – We've graded enough sites to know where water goes and how to move it. You get slopes that actually work, not guesswork that fails after the first rain.
Licensed and Fully Insured – Excavation work carries risk. Our coverage protects your property if something goes wrong during digging or grading. Don't hire uninsured operators.
Accurate Estimates Based on Real Site Visits – We don't guess costs over the phone. We visit the site, assess soil conditions and access, then give you a number we can actually hit.
One Company for Multiple Phases – Need excavation, drainage, landscaping, and hardscapes? We handle all of it in-house so phases connect smoothly without coordinating different contractors.
