Level Ground, Better Drainage, Fewer Problems Down the Road
Whether you're prepping a home site, fixing standing water in your yard, or getting a commercial lot ready to build in St. Mary's, proper grading is the groundwork that determines how well everything after it holds up. At KWS Excavation & Grading Services, we level and slope land to create stable, well-draining ground — preventing erosion, flooding, and foundation problems before they start.
We start every St. Mary's grading project with a site visit and a free, honest estimate. We assess soil, slope, and drainage patterns before any equipment touches your property — so the price we quote is the price you pay.
Our Grading Process
- Site assessment — walking the property to check slope, soil conditions, and drainage flow.
- Rough grading — moving and shaping material to establish the overall contour of the site.
- Fine grading — precise leveling and slope adjustments so water drains away from structures.
- Compaction — compacting soil to create a stable, buildable surface.
- Final inspection — confirming the site is level, properly sloped, and ready for the next phase of your project.

Every estimate is free and honest, and we stand behind the number we give you before work starts. Whether you're leveling a residential yard, fixing a drainage problem, or grading a commercial site in St. Mary's, we treat your property with the same care we'd want on our own land.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a grading contractor do in St. Mary's, GA?
A grading contractor levels and shapes your land so it's stable for construction, drains water away from your home or building, and eliminates uneven, low, or soggy spots on your property.
How much does grading cost in St. Mary's?
Cost depends on lot size, current terrain, how much material needs to move, and drainage requirements. We walk the site and give you a free, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Can you fix drainage and standing water issues?
Yes. Improper grading is the number one cause of standing water and erosion on St. Mary's properties. We regrade and slope the land to move water away from structures and low areas.
Do you grade for new construction and existing properties?
Both. We grade raw land ahead of new builds, and we regrade existing yards, driveways, and commercial lots that have drainage or leveling problems.
