Grading, dirt & rock
Driveways, pads and drainage shaped up — dirt moved, rock spread, water sent where it ought to go.
01The work
What this service covers
Dirt work is the difference between a driveway you can use in February and one you can't. We shape and level ground for driveways, building pads, shop sites and parking areas, cut the fall so rainwater runs off instead of standing, and spread and level rock where you need a surface that holds up to a truck. It is the bucket on the compact track loader doing that work — the same machine that clears a piece of ground can go back over it and shape it.
If you have a low spot that holds water, ruts that come back every winter, or a drive washed down to bare clay, tell us what it is doing and we'll come look at it. What it costs depends on how much material has to move and how much rock the job takes, so we'll put a number on it once we have seen the ground.

02What we bring
The kit for grading, dirt & rock
The work runs off a JCB compact track loader. What changes from job to job is the attachment on the front of it.
For grading, dirt & rock that’s the bucket. The same loader takes the mulcher head, grapple and stump grinder too, so the attachment gets picked to suit what’s actually on the ground.
