04. Final Grading & Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is the foundation of any successful lawn or seeding project. We offer full final grading, soil conditioning, and site prep services for homeowners, builders, and commercial clients throughout Mankato and the surrounding region.

 

Our process includes shaping, leveling, and smoothing the site to create the ideal finish grade before sod or hydroseed is applied. Using skid loaders, Harley rakes, and specialized grading attachments, we ensure clean transitions, proper water drainage, and a professional finished appearance.

A well-graded yard prevents pooling, erosion, and uneven growth—issues that can compromise even the highest-quality seed or sod. Whether you’re starting a new construction lawn or renovating a damaged yard, our site prep ensures your soil is healthy, even, and ready for long-term turf success.

Using specialized seed mixes, tackifiers, and high-performance erosion-control materials, we ensure slopes, ditches, embankments, and utility corridors receive the coverage and stabilization needed for long-term success. Our equipment is designed for high-output production, allowing us to complete large roadside areas efficiently and accurately.

 

Whether you’re completing new road construction, culvert replacement, utility installation, or ditch reshaping, we help control sediment, prevent washouts, and meet project compliance requirements.
