Every site prep visit

- Topsoil spread and raked to finish grade
- Rock picking and debris cleanup
- Prep for seed, sod or hardscape
Making water leave
Most calls start with standing water or a wet basement wall. Fixing it is usually grade first, structure second.
- Positive pitch established off the foundation
- Swales shaped to carry runoff to the low corner
- Low spots filled and compacted, not just topped with black dirt
Pads and prep work
Whether it is a garage slab, a shed or a new lawn, the surface underneath has to be flat, compacted and at the right elevation.
- Pads cut to elevation and compacted
- Stone brought up to grade for slab work
- Finish grade left clean enough to seed or sod the next day
Booking site prep
Shoot the grades
We check elevations and find out where the water is actually going.
Plan the cut
You get a plan for what moves, what comes in and what leaves the site.
Move the dirt
Rough grade, compact, finish grade and clean the site up behind us.
Grading and Site Prep in your town
Why people book Elevated Landscape Services
The base is where the money goes
Anyone can set stone on top. Nineteen years on heavy equipment is what makes the excavation, compaction and drainage right underneath it.
One crew, start to finish
One in-house crew means the person who saw your yard on day one is still on it at the end.
Dirt and stone from one contractor
Grading, site prep and hardscaping under one number, so nobody is pointing at somebody else when the water sits in the wrong place.
Waukesha County only
We stay inside the county we are based in. Short drives mean we get to the job and back to it.
Site Prep questions
Do you haul dirt off, or can it stay on site?
Either. Keeping spoil on the property is cheaper when there is a place for it, and we will tell you which way makes sense on your lot.
Can you grade a lot the builder left rough?
Yes. Finish grading behind a builder is common work for us, including rock picking, topsoil and prep for seed or sod.
Will the equipment tear up my existing lawn?
Tracked machines spread the weight, and we plan the access route with you. Anything we do disturb gets repaired as part of the job.
