GRADING LAKE LOTS AROUND SENECA
Lake lots rarely sit flat. We cut and fill building pads in compacted lifts and set the finished grade so water runs away from the foundation and toward a planned outlet, not down the bank and into the lake.
Shoreline communities often have HOA rules and state buffer requirements near the water. We plan the disturbed area with those in mind and keep work out of the buffer, so there are no surprises when the inspector or the HOA walks the lot.
Pads, driveway prep and regrading are quoted after a free walkthrough anywhere in the Seneca, Walhalla and West Union area.
