Grading & Land Clearing in Lithonia, GA
Grading, clearing, drainage and excavation services for Lithonia property owners in east DeKalb County — a short drive from our Conyers base.
Lithonia is just west of us in DeKalb County, close enough that it is part of our regular working area rather than an outlying territory.
A lot of the housing stock here has been in place for decades, and older properties tend to bring a particular set of grading problems: settled ground, yards that have lost their original slope, driveways that have quietly worn down, and back sections that have been overtaken by growth.
Those are all fixable with dirt work. The starting point is usually a walk of the property to see where water is going and what the ground is actually doing.
Local Service Overview
Established-yard grading
Regrading yards that have settled or lost slope, filling low areas, and preparing ground for new sod or seed after old lawn has failed.
Drainage correction
Reshaping surfaces so water leaves the yard instead of collecting against a foundation, patio or driveway.
Overgrowth and cleanup
Brush cutting, light clearing, and hauling debris off properties that have been neglected or are being prepared for sale.
Small excavation and pads
Shed and garage pads, footing digs, backfill and general compact-machine work on tight lots.

- Usually. Settling and old trench lines are common on established properties and are typically corrected with cut, fill and a finish grading pass.

- Yes. Brush cutting, light clearing and hauling are frequently done to get a property presentable.
