Expert Grading and Leveling in Sussex County, NJ

Precision Earthworks delivers grading and leveling services built for the varied terrain of Sussex County. Many properties here sit on sloped, rocky, or uneven ground. That mix creates drainage problems, soft spots, and unstable surfaces that cause real damage over time. Our crew reads each site before moving a single yard of soil. We cut high areas, fill low spots, and compact the subgrade so water moves away from your structure, not toward it. We handle rough grading for new builds, finish grading ahead of landscaping, and slope correction for existing yards that pool water after rain. Sussex County properties also face freeze-thaw cycles that shift soil each season. We account for that when setting final grades. Whether you are preparing a lot in Newton, correcting a slope in Sparta, or leveling a pad site in Vernon, we bring the right equipment and a clear plan. Call Precision Earthworks to schedule a site visit.

Grading and Leveling FAQ

Common questions about grading and leveling in Sussex County, NJ.

Yes, we provide both rough grading and finish grading for new residential builds across Sussex County. Our crew works to elevation specs so your site is ready for foundation work or landscaping.

Grading can fix standing water by reshaping the slope so runoff moves away from low spots and your home's foundation. We assess the existing grade and adjust it to direct water toward a safe discharge point.

Rough grading sets the general elevation and slope of your site, usually before construction begins. Finish grading brings the surface to its final elevation, ready for seed, sod, or hardscape installation.

Yes, slope correction is a core part of our grading work in Sussex County. We recut the grade, compact the soil, and shape the surface so water tracks away from the driveway edge.

A survey is not always required for basic yard leveling, but larger grading projects tied to new construction in Sussex County typically benefit from one. We can review your site and advise you before work begins.

Properly compacted and graded soil handles freeze-thaw cycles better than loose or uneven ground. We set grades and compact subgrade with seasonal soil movement in mind for lasting results.

Precision Earthworks LLC did an amazing job clearing and regrading my backyard (about ½ acre). Matt and his crew were professional, hardworking, and communicated extremely well from scheduling through completion. They worked two full days—nearly 10 hours each day—and the results speak for themselves. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them. A picture is worth a thousand words—see below!

Matt and his crew did an outstanding job with our land clearing project from start to finish. The crew was professional, punctual, and extremely hardworking. They cleared the property quickly while still paying attention to detail and leaving everything clean and properly graded when the job was complete. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they made everything stress-free. It’s hard to find contractors who take this much pride in their work. I highly recommend Precision Earthworks LLC to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality excavation and land clearing services

What a pleasure it was to work with Matt and his crew from Precision Earthworks. Matt is a hardworking, honest, and reliable young man who clearly takes pride in what he does — and it shows in the quality of the work. His team did a fantastic job clearing a section of my property, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Communication was clear, concise, and always followed through with exactly what was promised. Throughout the job, Matt checked in multiple times to make sure everything they were doing met my expectations. That level of professionalism and respect for the homeowner is rare. On top of the excellent workmanship, Matt’s pricing is very reasonable — especially considering the quality, efficiency, and care he and his crew bring to the job. It’s obvious that the whole team takes great pride in their work, and the results speak for themselves. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did and highly recommend Precision Earthworks to anyone looking for land clearing done the right way.
