Grading and demolition · High Point, NC
Grading And Demolition High Point NC
Some ground needs grading. Some buildings need to come down. We plan on being the last dirt crew you ever have to call.
What we specialize in
Residential and commercial
Grading
Bad grading gets expensive. Water pools at the foundation, yards turn to swamp, and erosion takes a bit more of the property every time it rains hard.
We bring the right equipment to the jobs, which usually means it finishes faster and gets left cleaner than people expect.
Every structure sits on dirt somebody shaped before the concrete went down. Grading sets the elevations, the slopes and where the water runs, and it holds that for decades. The soil here swells and shrinks with every wet and dry cycle, so a badly cut site keeps moving.
- Rough grading for new builds
- Finish grading, yards and pads
- Drainage correction and swales
- Building pad prep and compaction
- Erosion control installation
On anything over an acre we put erosion control in before the first storm, since bare graded soil won’t hold up to a Piedmont downpour.
Fixing it afterward always costs more than doing it right the first time.
What we specialize in
Residential and commercial
Demolition
A rotting barn, a condemned structure taking up usable space, or an old building standing where the new one needs to go. We handle the teardown from permitting to final cleanup.
Houses up to ten thousand square feet, mobile and manufactured homes, barns, outbuildings and commercial buildings. It comes down, gets loaded out on our own trucks and disposed of properly, and the ground is left clear and rough graded.
- Single family homes, any size
- Mobile and manufactured housing
- Barns, sheds and outbuildings
- Commercial buildings and warehouses
- Pool removal and backfill
- Foundation and slab removal
Permits, notifications and the asbestos inspection are all handled on our side before the machine arrives.

Signs Your Property Needs Grading
Not every grading job starts with new construction. These come on slowly, and they’re easy to live with for a while.
-
Water still standing a day laterPuddles that hang around more than 24 hours after rain mean the ground is holding water it ought to be shedding.
-
Water running toward the houseGrade should fall away from a foundation. When it falls toward it, the slab and the crawlspace end up paying for it.
-
Gullies along a slope or fence lineSoil is leaving your property, often onto somebody else’s.
-
A yard you cannot actually useUneven ground and soft spots make half a property useless. Grading gets it back to something you can walk, park or build on.
-
Cracks at the foundation, gaps at the doorsOften it’s the ground moving underneath rather than the building. Get somebody to look at the dirt first.

FAQs
Questions People Actually Ask
How much does grading cost in High Point?
Grading is priced per job, after somebody has stood on the site. Any square foot rate you find online is a guess, because the number moves on things you can’t see from the road.
What moves it: how much ground is being disturbed, how far material has to travel, whether we hit rock or ground that will not compact, whether spoil leaves the site or gets used on it, and whether the job crosses an acre and needs an approved plan first. We’d rather tell you that than publish a figure that turns out to be wrong
How soon can you start?
Grading and clearing can usually start within a week or two, depending on the schedule and the weather.
Demolition takes longer. North Carolina requires a notification to the state Health Hazards Control Unit at least ten working days before the machine touches the building, even when there’s no asbestos in it, and the building has to be inspected by an accredited asbestos inspector first. So ten working days is the floor on a teardown.
Do I need a permit to grade my land in North Carolina?
If you are disturbing more than one acre on a tract, yes. The state requires an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan, submitted at least thirty days before any dirt moves and approved before work starts. The state review fee runs $119 per acre or part acre.
Under an acre you usually don’t need a plan, but you still have to keep sediment off public and private property. Which office you deal with depends on your town, and there are six of them across the ten towns we serve.
Do you work with general contractors?
Regularly. Storage facility sites from raw dirt to finished pad, multi building site grading, parking lot subgrade and drainage, erosion control and hauling.
We keep our own machines and operators, so we’re not chasing a rental yard the morning you need us on site. Send the plans if you have them. If you don’t, a site walk gets us to the same place.
What areas do you serve?
Most of our work sits within about thirty miles of High Point, across Guilford, Forsyth, Davidson and Randolph counties. That takes in High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Clemmons, Jamestown, Archdale, Trinity, Thomasville and Lexington.
We’ll travel further for a big enough project, so if you’re outside that, call and we’ll tell you straight whether it makes sense.
