Wonderful experience! The work was quoted and completed within the same week. Price is very competitive and the work is top notch. During the installs and in between dump truck deliveries the staffing supported minor landscaping and helped with surrounding projects. Great local service that met all of my needs!
Land Leveling and Finish Grading in Batesville, IN
Hodges Grading & Excavating provides land leveling and finish grading services across Batesville, Indiana and the surrounding region.
Expert Land Leveling and Finish Grading in Batesville, IN
Uneven ground and poor drainage cause real problems for properties across Batesville and southeast Indiana. Hodges Grading & Excavating handles land leveling and finish grading for residential and commercial properties throughout the area, including Greensburg, Lawrenceburg, Brookville, and beyond. Land leveling removes high spots and fills low areas to create a consistent, workable surface. Finish grading follows, shaping the final slope so water moves away from foundations, driveways, and structures. Southeast Indiana's clay-heavy soils hold water rather than absorb it, which means a flat lot is not enough. The grade must carry runoff toward a safe outlet or it will pool against your foundation. Whether your property has low spots that stay wet after rain, uneven ground that makes outdoor use difficult, or a lot that needs a clean surface before sod or landscaping goes in, proper grading is the fix. Call Hodges Grading & Excavating to get your ground right.

Land Leveling and Finish Grading FAQ
Common questions about land leveling and finish grading in Batesville, IN.
Standing water after rain, soft or spongy soil near your foundation, and low spots that stay wet are clear signs your Batesville property needs grading. Uneven ground that makes mowing or outdoor use difficult is another common indicator.
Land leveling corrects major high and low spots across the property, while finish grading shapes the final surface slope so water drains away from structures. Both steps work together to protect homes and yards across Greensburg and the surrounding area.
Finish grading directs surface water away from your foundation, which reduces pooling around the base of your home in Lawrenceburg. Clay soils common in this part of Indiana hold water, so getting the slope right is especially important here.
Yes, land leveling and finish grading are the right steps to take before sod or seed goes down on a Brookville property. A properly graded surface gives grass a stable, even base and prevents low spots from drowning out new growth.
