Drainage-smart finish grades and stable building pads for Harrison County. Written quotes, insured crew, and equipment matched to your access.
Drainage-smart finish grades and stable building pads. In Gulfport, the first conversation is usually about access, drainage, and how Harrison County conditions change the work.
In Gulfport, grading most often shows up as commercial entrance grades that inspectors actually walk. Driveways that hold puddles and yards that stay soft in Gulfport are often grading problems before they are drainage mysteries.
Swales, berms, and outlet points get shaped to match how water actually moves across Harrison County parcels. Finish grade follows stakes or field-set elevations so concrete, sod, or pavers land on a surface that drains. Near the beach in Gulfport, storm windows and shell layers change how fast we can move fine grade without undermining edges.
Proof rolls and visual swale checks are part of handoff, not an afterthought on Gulfport scopes. You get a graded surface with drainage intent spelled out, not a vague smooth-over. We typically stage motor grader and box blade setups around Harrison County access, not a one-size machine list.
Clear steps from first call to final walkthrough.
We confirm finish elevations, drainage targets, and any utility locates before we cut.
We move material to balance the site, building pads and swales before fine grading.
We work to plan tolerance, wetting or drying lifts as needed for stable compaction.
We roll the grade with you, address low spots, and leave rakes and edges clean for the next trade.
Residential starting point: from about $1,500 for small yard re-slopes
Commercial starting point: quoted by the acre with topo and haul assumptions spelled out

Verified feedback from clients across Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
We hired Josh and Earthworks Solutions for a couple of projects at our home and came away impressed. Josh took the time to explain the difference between what we wanted and what we actually needed, then delivered beyond our expectations. He and his team were respectful of our time and our home throughout. Josh's knowledge of landscaping and horticulture is deep, and he's genuinely great to work with.
Earthworks Solutions has handled several projects for me over the past couple of years. The work is done right every time. Josh's attention to detail is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is fully satisfied. If you're considering Earthworks Solutions, you won't be disappointed.
Josh has handled several projects for us. He built a rock road in our backyard for our boat, and we didn't have to think twice about it. He handled everything from start to finish and the work was excellent. We also had a swimming pool removed, which left our backyard a mess. Josh brought in dirt, regraded the area, and it looks amazing now. We liked his work so much we had him put in a brand new lawn for my mother, including scraping out the old lawn, laying new sod, and installing an irrigation system. Her lawn looks incredible. Josh is efficient, professional, and fairly priced.

Grading shapes the final slope and drainage of a site. Dirt work is the broader category that includes excavation, fill placement, haul coordination, and compaction before finish grading happens.
