We shape, slope, and compact the ground so your yard drains right and whatever comes next sits on a base that holds. Own equipment, own crew, no shortcuts.
Almost every outdoor problem that shows up later starts with the ground being wrong from the beginning. A patio that cracks, sod that yellows in patches, a driveway that ruts, water creeping toward the crawl space. All of it traces back to how the dirt was shaped and packed before anyone built on top of it. Grading is where we fix that.
Avant Land Co grades and preps ground for homeowners and businesses in Conway, SC and out across the Grand Strand. On the low, sandy lots common in this area, a couple of inches of the wrong slope is enough to pond water against a foundation. We read the lay of your property, cut and fill it to a slope that actually drains, and compact it so it stays put.
Think of it as the part of the job nobody sees but everyone feels. Get the grade right and the patio, the lawn, and the driveway all behave for years. Get it wrong and you pay for each of them twice.
Whatever your ground needs moved, shaped, or leveled, it is on this list.
Turn lumpy, uneven, water-holding ground into a smooth yard that drains and mows the way it should.
Strip brush, stumps, roots, and debris off raw lots and leave clean ground ready to build or plant.
Cut, fill, haul, and relocate material with our skid steer and mini excavator, big moves or small.
Flat, compacted pads sized and packed for sheds, additions, garages, and commercial structures.
A properly graded, compacted base so the driveway stays level, drains, and does not wash into ruts.
Set and grade clean topsoil so the ground is primed for sod, seed, and new landscaping.
Reshape the land to send water the right direction and shut down washouts. Need French drains or downspout lines? Those live on our Drainage page.
The job is finished when the grade holds, the water moves, and you sign off on it, not before.
Every patio, driveway, and lawn is only as good as the ground beneath it. That is the part we get right first.
A correct slope carries rain away from the house instead of letting it pool and soak in at the base.
We fill and reshape the dips that hold water so the yard is not a swamp for days after a storm.
Compacted, level ground gives hardscape and sod something solid to sit on, so nothing settles or shifts.
Ground that is graded and prepped drains cleaner, cuts easier, and instantly looks finished and cared for.
From grading and drainage to patios, retaining walls and complete landscape installations, every project reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and dependable results.
The skid steer and mini excavator on your job are ours, and so are the hands running them. Nothing gets farmed out to a random sub, which is why the grade comes out the way we planned it and the site gets left clean when we’re done.

Grading lives underground where you cannot double-check it, so this whole trade runs on trust. We build ours the plain way: tell you the truth about what the job needs, turn up on the day we promised, and treat your dirt like it was our own back yard.
Home base is Conway, and from here we cover the Grand Strand, usually anything inside about a 45-minute drive. The same crew and the same standard show up whether the job is in town or a few towns over.

A few things folks usually want to know before we break ground. If your question is not here, just ask.
Watch what happens after a good rain. If water sits in the yard or pools against the house, if the ground tilts back toward the foundation, or if you are seeing ruts, bare patches, or spots that stay mushy for days, the grade is working against you. We will confirm it for free before recommending anything.
Dropping dirt in a low spot buys you a few months. Without a shaped slope and real compaction, the water finds its way back and the fill sinks unevenly. Grading reshapes the ground to a planned fall and packs it down, so the fix actually stays fixed.
Often, yes. Depending on the situation we can work just the trouble areas and protect the rest of the turf, or lift and relay sod only where it has to move. Either way, we lay out the plan with you first so nothing is a surprise.
We map our access and match the machine to the space, dropping down to a compact skid steer or mini excavator in tight yards. Anything we do disturb gets graded smooth and cleaned up before we leave.
Typically right away. A finished grade is built to be the foundation for exactly those things, so once it is shaped and compacted you are ready to move on, and we will often schedule the grading to roll straight into the next step.
Everyday residential yard grading usually does not, but bigger jobs, commercial sites, or work that redirects water across a property line sometimes do. We know how it generally works around Conway and the Grand Strand and will steer you the right way before we start.
