Reliable Grading Services for Residential and Commercial Projects

What is Grading and How Does It Work?
Grading is the process of sculpting and leveling land to ensure a stable foundation, effective drainage, and proper surface elevation for construction and landscaping projects. It’s a vital component in both residential and commercial site development that ensures buildings, roads, and landscapes function properly and remain structurally sound over time.
At J&B Excavation & Land Clearing, we begin every grading project in Burnsville with a detailed site assessment. Our experts examine soil composition, slope, drainage flow, and any existing structures to determine the best grading approach. Once we understand the site’s layout and elevation variances, we use advanced laser-guided equipment and GPS technology to map out exact cuts and fills.
The grading process typically begins with clearing and excavation, removing vegetation, debris, or old structures. From there, the land is reshaped by cutting down high points and filling in low areas. Proper compaction of the soil follows to avoid settling or shifting that could compromise the integrity of foundations or pavement. Our crew ensures slopes are designed to redirect water away from buildings to prevent erosion or flooding.
Final grading refines the site, giving it a smooth finish and preparing it for paving, building, or landscaping. This stage includes setting the final elevations, installing drainage solutions if needed, and checking that the site complies with local building and zoning codes. Whether it’s a driveway pad or a multi-acre commercial development,
J&B Excavation & Land Clearing guarantees precise, regulation-compliant grading tailored to your project’s needs.
