Want to Use More of Your Yard? It Starts With Smart Land Prep

You don’t need dozens of acres to make a big change. Whether you're adding a shed, building a patio, creating a play area, or extending your garden, grading and clearing your backyard is the first step to unlocking space and function.

At Southern Land Specialist, we help homeowners and landowners reclaim overgrown or uneven backyard areas with expert grading, brush removal, and small-scale excavation services.

Why Backyard Grading & Clearing Makes a Big Impact

• Allows for structure installation (sheds, patios, decks, playsets)
• Improves drainage and walkability
• Makes outdoor spaces more safe, clean, and low-maintenance
• Adds real value and curb appeal to your property

Projects That Benefit from Backyard Grading:

• Garden beds or raised planters

• Trampolines or swing sets
• RV pads or gravel parking
• Small barns, kennels, or chicken coops

📌 Whatever you’re planning to build or install—grading and clearing sets the foundation.

Our Backyard Grading & Clearing Services Include:

1. Brush & Tree Clearing

We remove:

• Thick undergrowth and invasive plants
• Saplings, low-hanging limbs, and clutter
• Small trees or stumps in the way of your project

📌 Selective clearing preserves the privacy you want—while creating the open space you need.

2. Precision Grading & Slope Correction

We use grading equipment to:

• Level uneven terrain for foundations or patios
• Correct slope to divert water away from your home
• Smooth bumpy or compacted areas

📌 Proper grading prevents drainage problems and creates a safer, flatter space to build.

3. Pad Prep & Gravel Installation

We prep for:

• Concrete, gravel, or wood foundation pads
• Temporary or permanent parking pads
• Tent, deck, or shed installation sites

📌 Don’t place a shed or structure on soft or sloped ground—start with a proper pad.

4. Drainage Planning & Water Diversion

We identify and solve issues like:

• Standing water or soft spots
• Erosion near fence lines or buildings
• Downhill runoff impacting your yard

📌 Our grading work is designed to protect your space—not just flatten it.

5. Final Cleanup & Finish Work

We leave your yard:

• Cleared and walkable
• Ready for your contractor, builder, or DIY project
• Cleaner, safer, and more functional

📌 No piles of brush or stumps left behind—just usable, improved space.
