Grading and Site Work
Yard holding water? Lot need to be brought to grade?
Yards, house lots, pads and driveways. Laser level on the work that needs one.

How it works
Grading is most of what we do besides hauling dirt. New house lots, yards that never drained right, rough grade and finish grade both.
We run a track loader, a dozer and excavators, and we shoot grade with a laser on pads and anywhere water has to go somewhere specific.
When the dirt work is done we can seed and straw it so you are not looking at bare clay waiting on rain to wash it away.
What we need to know to quote it
Have these ready when you call and we can usually give you a number on the spot.
- What is the problem? Water standing, new construction, or a lot that needs leveling?
- About how big an area are we talking about?
- Does dirt need to come in, go out, or just move around?
- Do you want it seeded and strawed when we finish?

What people say about our grading work
We used Smith mine on a project where we needed to remove an existing concrete driveway, re grade the existing slab, add a new drainage pipe and then pour the driveway back. This was a massive project but smith mine made quick and efficient work of it. Very responsive and did everything they said they would in a timely manner. Great customer service and will definitely be using them for all our future projects!
Matt does great work. Not only for small grading jobs, but also the larger projects. Most recent we have used him for concrete work as well, they were awesome. Highly recommend!
Seamless delivery and grading by Matt and his team. Matt is the kindest and most professional gravel/dirt providers I've worked with, and with the most competitive prices. I couldn't recommend Smith Mine more!
