Grading & Excavation Services in Middle Tennessee
Reshape your yard for proper drainage, a level lawn and a solid base for whatever you’re building next.
Almost every drainage problem, sinking patio and soggy lawn traces back to one thing: grade. ABM Landscaping LLC provides professional grading and excavation to reshape your property so water flows where it should — away from your home, not toward it.
From rough-grading a new build to fine-grading for sod, leveling a bumpy backyard, or digging for drainage and footings, our equipped crew has the machines and the experience to move earth precisely and clean up after.
What’s included
- Rough and fine grading for proper slope
- Yard leveling for low spots and uneven ground
- Slope correction to direct water away from structures
- Excavation for drains, footings and hardscape bases
- Driveway and pad preparation
- Soil hauling, spreading and cleanup
Why correct grading is critical on Middle Tennessee lots
Our rolling terrain and heavy clay soil are a tough combination — water runs fast off slopes and then pools where the ground flattens against foundations, patios and crawl spaces. Getting the grade right is the foundation (literally) of a dry, usable yard.
Grading is often the first step before drainage solutions, sod installation or a new patio or retaining wall. We make sure the base is right so everything built on top of it lasts.

Grading & Excavation — frequently asked
Do I need grading or drainage?
Often both — and grading usually comes first. We’ll diagnose whether re-sloping the yard solves the issue or whether you also need a drain system, and quote accordingly.
Can you level my backyard for a patio or pool?
Yes. We grade and prep level pads for patios, sheds, pools and outbuildings, with proper compaction so they don’t settle later.
Will you haul away or bring in soil?
Either. We can remove excess spoil or bring in and spread fill and topsoil to reach the grade your project needs.
