GRADING ACROSS ANDERSON COUNTY
Anderson County clay holds water when it is graded flat and sheds it when it has a steady fall. Most of our yard work here is correcting grades that send runoff toward the house or leave standing water in the lawn.
Lake Hartwell lots add slopes and HOA rules. We plan pads and driveways to work with the slope and keep runoff off the bank, which is cheaper than fighting erosion later.
Smaller jobs often start between $800 and $1,500, and larger site work is priced by scope after a free walkthrough.
