Grading FAQ
What does a grading company do?
A grading company reshapes the land on a construction site to achieve the proper elevations, slopes, and drainage patterns required by the project plans. This includes rough grading (bulk earth moving), finish grading (precise final elevations), and compaction to prepare the subgrade for construction.

Site grading costs in the Seattle area typically range from $1,500–$5,000 for a small residential lot and $10,000–$100,000+ for commercial sites, depending on size, soil conditions, and volume of earth to move. Contact us for a free site-specific estimate.
