What's Included in This Service

You'll begin with a site survey where we measure elevations, identify drainage issues, and discuss your project goals. Our crew brings excavators, compactors, and grading blades to move soil, level high spots, and fill low areas across your Yacolt property. We follow local grading standards to ensure your site meets permit requirements and supports long-term stability.

Power Land Clearing focuses on precision and drainage planning, so water flows away from structures and doesn't pool on your lot. Rough grading creates a stable base for future work. We handle small cut and fill projects that adjust grades without requiring large earth-moving operations, keeping costs manageable.

After grading, your site is ready for foundation forms, utility trenching, or driveway installation. You'll see improved drainage, better access, and a level surface that supports building permits and inspections without delays or corrections.

Key Benefits of This Service

What is rough grading and why do I need it?
Rough grading levels your site and establishes drainage paths before foundation work begins. It prevents water pooling, erosion, and settling that can damage structures over time.
How do you ensure proper drainage during grading?
We use laser levels and surveying tools to create slopes that direct water away from buildings and toward natural drainage areas. This prevents flooding and erosion in Yacolt's wet climate.
Can you grade a sloped lot for a level building pad?
Yes, we perform cut and fill work to create level pads on sloped terrain. We remove soil from high spots and fill low areas, compacting fill to prevent settling.
How long does site preparation take for a residential lot?
Most residential sites take one to three days depending on lot size, grade changes, and soil conditions. We work efficiently to keep your construction schedule on track.
Do you compact the soil after grading?
Yes, we compact fill areas using mechanical compactors to ensure a stable base. Proper compaction prevents settling and foundation issues after construction begins.
