What grading jobs come up most around Warner Robins?

Houston County is flat Coastal Plain country with sandy topsoil over clay. That shapes the work: here the trouble is usually water that won't leave, not water racing downhill.

• Water sitting by the house. A flat yard gives rain no reason to move. The code Georgia uses wants the ground to drop at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet from the foundation.
• A soggy backyard with no low edge. A French drain, a swale or a dry well gives the water somewhere to go.
• A driveway onto a county road. Houston County requires a permit, sizes the culvert pipe itself, and inspects it before it's covered.
• Gravel drives with puddles and potholes. Usually a drive built level with the yard, with no crown and no ditches.
• Clearing a lot. Pines, brush and old orchards come out for a house or pasture. Georgia's summer burning ban runs May 1 through September 30.
• Stumps and overgrown woods. Ground below the lawn, or mulched in place instead of piled and burned.
• A pad for a new home. Built up with fill and packed in layers so the slab sits above the yard.
