Every job starts the same way: Rodney comes out, walks it with you, and tells you what he would do and what it will cost. If the job needs something we do not do, he will say that too.
Grading is the core of what Little Acres Grading does, and it is usually the first thing on site and the last thing before you seed.

Excavation & Grading — Common Questions
What people ask us most about this service.
It depends on access, how much material moves and what is under the surface, which is exactly why we come look rather than quote over the phone. The site visit is free and the number you get afterward is written down and does not move.
Yes. We cover seven counties from our base in Cherryville — Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Burke, Caldwell, Cleveland and Rutherford — and there is no travel charge anywhere in that area.
It depends on the season and the weather — wet ground stops dirt work. We will give you a realistic window with the estimate rather than a date we cannot hold.
Yes, $1 million in liability coverage. We can send a certificate to you or your builder before we start.
