Grading/Excavation on a Charleston-area Earthco project
Overview

What we deliver on every grading/excavation project.

Grading is where Earthco earns its reputation. Our crews and equipment move dirt fast without sacrificing the precise elevations and drainage slopes your engineers and builders depend on.

From mass grading on a multi-phase subdivision to fine grading a single commercial pad, we deliver consistent results — verified against the plan — so vertical construction starts on solid, predictable ground.

Scope of Work

  • Mass grading & cut/fill operations
  • Building pad construction
  • Fine grading to subgrade tolerance
  • Pond & basin excavation
  • Slope shaping & terracing
  • Import & export of structural fill
  • Proof rolling & compaction

How We Work

Our process, step by step.

Predictable execution from kickoff through close-out — so the trades following us can do their jobs without surprises.

01STEP

Plan & Layout

We translate the civil plans into a production strategy — equipment, sequencing, and cut/fill balance.

02STEP

Strip & Stockpile

Topsoil is stripped and stockpiled for reuse, separating structural fill from organics.

03STEP

Move & Compact

Mass earthwork in production passes, with compaction and proof rolling to engineered specs.

04STEP

Fine Grade

Final shaping to plan tolerances — pads, drainage swales, and transitions verified before handoff.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes. GPS-guided dozers and excavators give us tight elevation control and reduce the time between cut and verified grade.

Whenever the plan allows, we optimize cut/fill on site to avoid unnecessary haul and reduce cost.

Yes. When the site is short or long on material, we coordinate hauling, source structural fill, and dispose of unsuitable material.
