"Ron and Brian were great. I needed an earth moving company ASAP and Ron was a great communicator and helped me with leveling for a playground and filling in a large hole I dug out with an excavator. I got overzealous and created a mess and Ron and his crew were able to not only fix my problem, but do it for a fair rate and a quick turnaround time. They listened to my needs and provided a great solution to my problem. I would recommend ATLAS to anyone and am really pleased with the work."

"Sergio and his team arrived first thing in the morning and spent the day preparing my yard with drainage pipe, some grading and soil to install beautiful zoysia sod. They ground out a couple of tree stumps for me and made sure my sprinklers were set up right for full coverage in my back yard. I’m delighted with how easy this was, the price and with this company’s service. I am so happy with my yard! Thank you!! I definitely recommend this company. "

"I hired Adams BuiltCorporation LLC to grade and fix my backyard which was left in a mess by the builder. Branson did an excellent job of grading and seeding my yard removing the deep ruts left by the builder's equipment allowing me to mow the yard with ease. In addition, I am hiring this company to do additional landscaping around my home in the very near future. Thank you so much Branson!"

"Clearly Leveled Up was great. They arrived on time and started working right away. The workers, Mike and BJ were very professional. They were courteous and very easy to converse with. They did exactly what we asked for and we love it !!! Wish we could have sent the photos of the work but the system keeps telling us the file was too large."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Raleigh, NC

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
