Whether you're preparing land for a new build, correcting water drainage problems, or reshaping an existing property, our grading crew ensures the job is done with precision, safety, and long-term stability in mind.

Proper grading is critical to the performance and longevity of any structure or outdoor space. From large-scale site development to fine residential finish grading, we help shape the land to meet your exact needs—ensuring proper elevation, slope, and drainage every step of the way.

At Lehigh Valley Excavating, we offer both rough grading and finish grading services as part of our excavation and site development work. Whether you need a level pad for construction or a sloped surface to improve water runoff, we tailor our grading services to your property and project goals.

Our grading capabilities include:

We work with homeowners, builders, developers, and municipalities to ensure that every job site meets elevation plans, building codes, and environmental regulations.

Grading is essential for proper drainage and land usability on residential properties. Whether you're building a new home, dealing with a soggy yard, or preparing for a landscape installation, our residential grading services help shape your land for safety, stability, and visual appeal.

Common residential grading services include:

If you’re experiencing water runoff toward your foundation, standing water in your yard, or uneven ground that’s hard to maintain, our grading team can assess your property and provide a long-term solution.

For commercial and industrial projects, accurate grading is essential to meet code, prevent drainage problems, and support heavy-use surfaces such as parking lots, roadways, and building pads. Lehigh Valley Excavating offers complete commercial grading services, working with engineers, project managers, and general contractors to meet tight schedules and regulatory requirements.

Commercial grading services include:

We handle everything from small commercial lots to multi-acre development sites, delivering precise grading that supports lasting structural and environmental performance.

Our team provides both types of grading and can return to your property after major construction to complete the final grade for landscaping, paving, or other finishes.

A properly graded driveway or access road is essential for drainage, vehicle safety, and long-term durability. Whether you're preparing a new gravel drive or regrading an existing path, Lehigh Valley Excavating provides:

We also prepare roads and drives for asphalt or concrete installation, working with paving contractors to ensure a solid and properly shaped foundation.

Improper grading can lead to standing water, flooding, erosion, and structural damage. Our team specializes in grading that improves drainage and protects your property from water-related issues.

We offer:

Our grading work not only improves drainage—it also helps protect neighboring properties, meet environmental compliance, and reduce the risk of soil loss.

On larger construction sites, site balancing is used to minimize hauling costs and optimize land use. This process involves cutting high areas and filling low ones to achieve the desired elevation while keeping material on-site.

We use GPS-guided equipment and grading plans to:

Site balancing is common on commercial developments, subdivision construction, and multi-lot projects where precision and cost efficiency are critical.

After a structure is built, grading must be completed around the foundation to ensure proper drainage and prepare for landscaping or final surfaces. Lehigh Valley Excavating provides backfill and post-construction grading services for both residential and commercial sites.

This includes:

We ensure that every site is left in stable, finished condition ready for use or landscaping.

We operate a full fleet of grading equipment, including:

All excavation work is performed by fully insured professionals who follow strict safety protocols. We carry the necessary licenses and adhere to all state and local regulations governing excavation and construction site operations.

Excavation is high-risk work, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team conducts thorough pre-project evaluations, utility locating, and hazard assessments before any digging begins.

We also coordinate with Pennsylvania One Call for underground utility marking, and we maintain active communication with general contractors, inspectors, and other stakeholders on every job.
