Finish grade follows stakes or field-set elevations so concrete, sod, or pavers land on a surface that drains.

Clear steps from first call to final walkthrough.
We confirm finish elevations, drainage targets, and any utility locates before we cut.

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.
Josh prepped our double lot and installed sod. Our lawn is now the best in the neighborhood, and we get people slowing down just to look at it. He maintains it without needing any input from us, which we appreciate. The cost was competitive and reasonable.
