Excavation & Grading
Grading is the foundation of the foundation. GRH Construction moves, balances, and shapes earth to the lines and elevations your engineer's plans call for, from mass excavation all the way down to finish grade.
Scope of work
- Mass excavation and cut-and-fill
- Building pad preparation and compaction
- Rough grading to plan elevations
- Fine and finish grading to tolerance
- On-site soil balancing to limit import and export
- Subgrade preparation for slabs and pavement
We balance cut and fill on site wherever the plans allow, compact pads in lifts, and hold finish grades to engineered tolerances. Getting grades right the first time keeps every trade that follows on schedule.
Where the schedule is won or lost
Earthwork sets the pace for the whole job. Pads that are compacted properly and grades that hit tolerance mean utilities, concrete, and paving all go in without rework. We measure as we go so the dirt is right before anyone builds on it.

Most jobs touch more than one of these. We self-perform the core sitework and coordinate the rest, so the whole package stays in sequence.
