Precision rough and finish grading for foundations, driveways, drainage, and finished yards. Owner-operated and laser-accurate.
Grading is the process of shaping the ground to a planned slope and elevation. Done right, it controls water, protects structures, and creates a stable base for everything you build on top.

A very pleasant experience all around. He showed up explained what he would do and made suggestions. He then proceeded to complete the foundation work as contracted in a very efficient manner.

During last year's torrential rains, the culvert to my back field washed out and I lost access to my pasture. Jason Blake did a great job of putting the quote together, scheduling the job and completing it on time and within budget! I would highly recommend Jason and will have him do additional work for me in the future.Posted on Google John RentzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and professional company. Jason does what he says and knows his business throughly. I would recommend Blake Excavation for your job.Posted on Google John AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He did amazing work for us, on time, better than expected, fine detail, extras I would have never thought to ask for. He turned a scrubby bit of woodlands into a park-like setting, ran water lines and made sure they would survive a deep freeze, brand new sewer system, a solid gravel drive. It is immediately obvious that this is a multigenerational family business that takes real pride in its work.Posted on Google Dave FarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Rough grading gets the site close to design grade — usually within a few inches. Finish grading dials it in to fractions of an inch and is what you need before sod, asphalt, or concrete.
We use a laser grading system and design to a minimum 2% slope away from structures. For problem areas, we'll go steeper or add drainage features.
In most cases, yes. If the pooling is from a low spot or reverse slope toward the house, regrading is often the simplest fix. Sometimes drainage (French drain, swale) is needed in addition.
Whenever possible. We strip and stockpile topsoil, do the rough work, then respread it for the finish layer. It saves money and gives you a better growing surface.
A small residential drainage regrade can be a day. A full lot prep for new construction is usually 2 to 5 days depending on size and condition.
Whether you need a single trench dug or an entire lot graded and cleared, we bring the right machine and the right approach to every job.
