Why It Matters

Grading isn't decoration—it's the foundation of every successful property.

Prevent Water Damage & Erosion

Poor drainage leads to foundation cracks, basement flooding, and landscape erosion—costing thousands in repairs.

McDonough's rolling terrain means improper slope channeling water toward homes. We create gentle grades that naturally redirect runoff to drainage systems, keeping your foundation dry and soil stable year-round.

Meet Building Codes & Permits

Henry County and state law require documented grading certification for new construction, property division, and major renovation. Our team handles permit applications, stormwater planning, and final inspection paperwork.

Missing these steps can delay closing, block financing, or trigger expensive corrections before occupancy. We eliminate that risk.

Strengthen Site Stability & Value

Proper grading and soil compaction create a solid platform for buildings, driveways, and landscaping. Level, well-drained property sells faster and inspects cleaner—buyers see responsible maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about grading in McDonough.

What's the difference between rough grading and finish grading?

Rough grading moves bulk soil and sets slopes during site prep; finish grading smooths and compacts the final surface for construction. Most projects need both.

Does my 30252 residential lot need a grading permit?

Homeowner grading usually doesn't, but site work over one acre or any disturbance affecting drainage requires Henry County approval. We review your scope and advise on permits upfront.

How long does a typical residential grading project take?

Most residential jobs in McDonough finish in 1–3 days once permits clear. Weather and soil condition affect timing; we provide realistic schedules during assessment.

Will grading damage my landscaping or trees?

Heavy equipment can compact soil and harm root systems. We identify mature trees during assessment and protect them with fencing or adjust grades to avoid damage.

What happens if grading uncovers drainage issues on my property?

We flag issues immediately—saturated soil, poor drainage, or undersized existing pipes. We recommend solutions and can refer licensed contractors for follow-up work.

Can you help with erosion control and seeding after grading?

Yes. We install silt fences, erosion control blankets, and recommend seeding or sodding schedules. Proper stabilization protects your investment and keeps sediment off neighboring properties.
