Tell us about the site
Call or send a quote request with the address, what you're building, and anything you know about the land — slope, trees, soil, water.

We walk it
We come out, walk the property, and look at access, drainage, soil, and what has to come down. Then we give you a real number for the work.
- 03
Clear the land
Trees, brush, rocks, and debris come out so we're working on clean, visible ground — with room for equipment and drainage.

Fill & compact
We bring in quality fill where the site sits low, and compact it so the base won't settle or shift later.
- 05
Grade & drain
We shape a level, properly sloped pad with positive drainage — and install a french drain where the site needs one.

Footers, drives & concrete
Dirt or concrete footers, gravel, driveways, slabs — whatever finishes the job so it's ready to build on and ready for inspection.
Grading questions, answered
What a grading contractor does, what drives the cost, and how to get a number for your site.
What does a grading contractor do?
A grading contractor shapes the ground so it's ready to build on. Mountain Movers Grading clears the land, brings in and compacts fill dirt, levels and slopes pads so water drains away, installs french drains, cuts in driveways, and pours concrete slabs, footings, patios, and sidewalks.
How do I get a grading quote?

What affects the cost of grading and site prep?
Every site is different. Rocky soil, steep or off-level ground, a site that's hard to get equipment in and out of, heavy clearing or tree work, extra fill dirt, french drains, and concrete footers all bring the price up. That's why we walk the site before we give you a number.
