Grading & Dirt Work
Move the dirt so the site works
Grading is how a cleared lot becomes a pad, a drive, or a yard that does not hold water against the house. Foil Land Services moves dirt around Shelbyville for home sites and commercial ground.
Tucker looks at the slope, the soil, and where water is going today. The estimate is free. You hear what it takes to get a surface that sheds water and holds traffic.
Dirt work often follows land clearing and sits next to drainage, trenching, and driveway repair. One crew can keep those pieces on the same plan.
How it is priced. Quoted after we see the slope and how much dirt has to move. Free estimate.
Tucker quotes it himself and he is on the machine when the work happens.
What You Get
What a grading & dirt work job includes
Level pads and yards
High spots come down, low spots come up, and the surface is ready for what you are building.
Shape for water
Slope is not decoration. It is how you keep water off the foundation and out of the low corner.
Move spoil on site
Dirt that comes out of a trench or a pad can often stay and work somewhere else on the same property.
Tied to the next service
Grading pairs with drainage, driveways, and clearing so you are not coordinating three outfits.

Questions
Grading & Dirt Work questions we get asked
Can you grade after a land clearing job?
Yes. That is a common pairing. Clearing opens it, grading makes it usable.
Do you bring in extra dirt or just move what is there?
Most jobs use what is on site. If the property is short on fill, we talk about that in the estimate instead of discovering it mid-job.
Will grading fix a wet yard by itself?
Sometimes. Sometimes the yard also needs pipe, a swale, or a trench. We will tell you which one you actually have.
Do you grade commercial lots?
Yes. Residential and commercial dirt work are both on the list, fully insured either way.
