Grading & Sitework in Alpharetta

Alpharetta is largely newer construction on ground that was farmland and woods within living memory, which means a lot of homes here sit on engineered fill. When that fill was placed and compacted properly it performs well. Where it was not, it shows up as settling patios, cracked drives and low spots that hold water every spring.

The ground in Alpharetta

Gently rolling, less dramatic than Roswell but with enough fall to move water. Extensive clay, and a high proportion of lots where the natural grade was substantially reshaped during development.

What the housing means for the work

Predominantly 1990s onward subdivisions with slab and crawl construction, plus significant newer high-end building. Pools are common here, and so are homeowners who no longer want them — pool removal is one of our most frequent Alpharetta jobs.

Why local knowledge matters here

Metro Atlanta gets over 50 inches of rain a year on red clay that barely drains, and the way that plays out is different in every town. Slope, clay depth, rock, tree cover and how the original subdivision was graded all change what a property needs. Knowing Alpharetta specifically is the difference between fixing a problem and moving it twenty feet.

What we do here most

Demolition

Swimming Pool Removal

That pool costs you money every month and you stopped swimming in it years ago. We take it out and give you the yard back.

Yard Drainage

Atlanta gets more rain than Seattle, on soil that barely drains. Standing water is not bad luck — it is a solvable design problem.

Land Grading

Grading is how water is told where to go. Get it right and everything else on the property works.

Sod Installation

Sod laid on unprepared clay dies. The preparation is the job; the green part is the last two hours.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls fail from the back, not the front. The drainage you cannot see is the part that matters.

Yard Levelling

A yard you cannot mow flat, walk safely across or drain properly is a yard you are not really using.

FAQ

Alpharetta questions

Do you cover all of Alpharetta?

Yes — all of Alpharetta and Fulton County, plus the surrounding towns. We are based in metro Atlanta and cover roughly two hours in any direction.

How quickly can you get to Alpharetta?

Alpharetta is inside our core coverage area, so usually within a few days for a quote and shortly after for the work, depending on the season. Storm cleanup gets prioritised.

What does grading cost in Alpharetta?

We quote every job after seeing it, so the number you get is the number you pay. Estimates are free and there is no obligation. Each service page sets out what drives the cost for that kind of work.

Do you need a permit to work in Fulton County?

It depends on the job. Land disturbance over an acre requires a Georgia EPD permit, and demolition and right-of-way work often need county permits. We check and handle it rather than leaving it to you.
