Featured Service

Driveway Grading & Gravel Installation

A gravel driveway fails for one reason more than any other: water sitting on it. Shape fixes that, and shape is what grading is.

Adding gravel to a driveway that has lost its shape is the most common mistake. The new stone follows the old ruts, the water keeps running the same path, and within a season the problem is back. Regrading first is what makes the material last.

I was looking for someone to clear and grade my backyard, and I was honestly a little nervous about the process. I received estimates from three different contractors, and Hugo was the last one I met with. From our first conversation, I immediately felt comfortable with him. It was clear that he is passionate about his work, takes pride in his business, and genuinely cares about delivering quality results. Hugo completed the entire job in just one day, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. My backyard looks amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for someone who is professional, reliable, and does outstanding work, I highly recommend Hugo and his services. You won't be disappointed!

Hugo Clearing & Grading LLC did an amazing job transforming our backyard. We had major drainage issues, and they properly installed a 24-inch pipe, properly backfilled and compacted it, then regraded the entire yard with fresh dirt. The difference is night and day—no more standing water and the yard looks incredible. Professional, reliable, and quality work from start to finish. Highly recommend his services!

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?
Conyers and Rockdale County plus Lithonia, Covington, Snellville, Stockbridge and McDonough. Call with your address and we will confirm.
Do you handle residential and commercial grading projects?
Both — residential property work and small commercial sites. Large heavy-civil projects are outside our scope.
When does a gravel driveway need to be regraded?
When water stands on it, ruts form, or potholes come back after being filled. Losing the crown is the usual root cause.
Can grading help prepare a yard for sod?
Yes. Sod needs an even, firm surface with consistent slope, and grading is the step that creates it.
What is forestry mulching used for?
Clearing brush, briars, vines and small trees while leaving the material on site as a mulch layer instead of a debris pile.
Can grading help manage water runoff?
Surface shape decides where water goes, so establishing positive slope and shaping swales solves many drainage problems.
How do I get an estimate?
Call (470) 430-8701 or send the estimate form. Most projects need a quick look at the property before a number means much.
When would a mini excavator be used instead of larger equipment?
On tight lots, behind gates and close to structures, where a bigger machine would disturb more ground than the job justifies.
