Grading and pad prep is the transition step between "cleared land" and "ready to build." Rough grade to the general engineered contour, then finish grade to the tolerance the building slab or foundation requires. On East Tennessee's ridge-and-valley terrain with clay-heavy soils, this is where most projects that "just want a pad" underestimate the scope.
Common Knoxville-area grading scenarios:
Engineered vs. general grade: anything supporting a foundation, retaining wall, or septic system typically requires an engineer-stamped grading plan and inspection at compaction milestones. General yard grading and driveway prep usually doesn't. We match the crew and equipment to the scope.
What we do NOT do: we don't grade around a foundation without the owner's engineer's plan in hand, and we don't skip compaction testing on structural fill. Both are shortcuts that cost 10x to fix later.
Grading is priced by scope (cut/fill volume, spec depth, testing requirements) — not per acre. Written quote after the walk-through with the engineer's plan.
