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.
Grading in Gulfport has to make sand and compacted fill act like a pad, not a beach. Harrison County commercial work along US 49 and near the port wants heavy-duty subgrade, clear truck geometry, and drainage that does not undermine a new apron the first time a tropical rain sits on it. Residential work closer to the beach is a different craft: thin lots, existing fill, and neighbors who will notice a two-inch pond at the garage.
We watch shell layers and old fill interfaces because they look solid until a proof-roll finds the void. Import, if needed, has to be the right material for coastal sand, not a clay dump that will never drain. Haul routes through Gulfport traffic are part of production; a cheap dirt number that ignores truck time is fiction.
Finish grade here is stormwater and stabilization. We set falls that survive wind-driven rain, protect inlets, and leave a surface a concrete or asphalt crew can actually use. If the job is a logistics yard, a retail pad, or a homesite rebuild, the equipment and the inspection picture change, and the quote says which one you hired.

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

In Gulfport, Harrison County, grading prices follow import, truck time on US 49, proof-roll readiness, and whether the pad is residential or port-grade. Coastal stabilization and storm windows matter. Sand that looks cheap to cut can be expensive to make hold a truck.
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.
