What's Included in This Service

You receive a full site evaluation that includes topography review, drainage assessment, and soil analysis. We identify problem areas where water collects, slopes that need correction, and surfaces that require compaction. This upfront planning ensures grading work addresses both immediate concerns and future land use.

High Country Contracting uses dozers, graders, and excavators to move, level, and compact soil across your property. We shape berms, cut drainage channels, and redistribute earth to create stable, functional surfaces. Early consultation helps achieve the right grade and long-term durability, especially before winter or heavy equipment use begins.

We finish each project with compaction passes and final grading to ensure surfaces hold up under traffic and weather. You'll see improved access, reduced erosion, and better water management that protects structures and keeps roads passable. This work complements excavation, land clearing, and road building for complete site development.

Key Benefits of This Service

Landowners often want to understand how grading and earthmoving will affect daily operations, seasonal challenges, and long-term property value. Here are the answers to questions we hear most often from clients managing rural acreage.

How does grading improve drainage?
We create gentle slopes that direct water away from buildings and roads, preventing pooling and erosion. Proper grading reduces mud, protects foundations, and keeps access routes usable after storms.
Can you work with rocky or uneven ground?
Yes, we remove rocks, break up hardpan, and redistribute soil to create level surfaces. Our equipment handles the rugged terrain common throughout Sheridan and surrounding areas.
Will this service prepare my land for a new building?
Absolutely. We grade and compact the site to specifications required for foundations, driveways, and utilities. You'll have a stable, code-ready surface for construction.
How long does a typical dirt work project take?
Small grading projects take one to three days, while larger earthmoving efforts may require a week or more depending on acreage and soil conditions. We provide time estimates after the initial site visit.
Is this work part of fire prevention planning?
Yes, proper grading reduces vegetation buildup, improves access for emergency equipment, and creates defensible space around structures. It's an important part of wildfire readiness in dry, rural areas.

Stable, well-graded land supports everything from livestock operations to new construction and protects your investment from water damage and erosion. Connect with us to discuss your land grading project and start building a property that works better in every season.
