Proper grading is the foundation of every successful residential construction project. Whether you’re preparing for a new home, driveway, septic system, or landscaping, accurate grading ensures your site drains correctly and remains structurally sound for years to come. At Townes Septic Service, we provide professional residential grading services tailored to the unique terrain of New Hampshire properties.

Our experienced excavation crew uses advanced equipment and laser-guided tools to level and shape your land to exact specifications. From rough grading to final finish work, we make sure water flows away from your foundation, low spots are eliminated, and your site is prepped for the next phase of construction.

Whether you're building from the ground up or improving an existing property, we’re here to make sure it starts on solid ground.

Grade Your Property Right From the Start

Site Grading & Excavation

We begin every project by carefully excavating and shaping the land to meet your site’s specific elevation and slope needs. Whether it’s for a new home, septic system, or landscaping plan, our team removes debris and soft soil to create a solid, stable surface.

Foundation and Pad Prep

Before any concrete is poured or structures go up, we prepare level pads and build up areas to ensure your foundation sits on solid, well-compacted ground. Proper grading at this stage prevents shifting, cracking, or drainage issues later on.

Drainage Solutions

Effective grading goes hand-in-hand with managing runoff. We evaluate the natural contours of your land and implement grading slopes or swales to direct water away from structures—helping you avoid pooling, erosion, or foundation damage.

Finish Grading for Landscaping or Lawn

Once rough grading is complete, we handle final shaping and smoothing of the surface. This step is key for lawn seeding, garden bed installation, or hardscape placement, giving your outdoor space the polished look and performance it needs.
