Built From
The Ground Up.
Drainage, site development, and erosion control done right — the first time. Serious equipment and a commitment to quality work, wherever the job takes us.
Solving Site &
Water Problems.
From drainage failures and erosion issues to grading and site preparation, Heavy Grounds delivers practical solutions built for long-term performance. We focus on improving site conditions through proper water management, earthwork, and site development.
Whether addressing stormwater concerns, stabilizing problem areas, or preparing sites for future use, our goal is simple: identify the root cause, implement the right solution, and build it to last.
Drainage Solutions
Proper water management starts with the right design. We install drainage systems — French drains, swales, culverts, and channel work — that keep your property protected from runoff and erosion year-round.
Site Development
Land clearing, grading, and site prep for homes, outbuildings, driveways, and commercial pads. We turn raw land into buildable, level ground ready for your next project.
Erosion Control
Hillside stabilization, silt fencing, seeding, riprap, and retaining solutions to stop soil loss in its tracks — wherever the terrain demands it.
Grading & Excavation
Final grade work and deep excavation for foundations, ponds, septic systems, and utility lines — with equipment sized for the job, no matter the terrain.
Residential Projects
New home sites, cabin pads, garage footprints, driveway cuts, and yard regrading. We work with homeowners directly to get the job done on budget.
Commercial & Agricultural
Site prep for commercial builds, farm ponds, access roads, and agricultural land improvements. If it involves moving earth, we can help.
Real Projects.
Real Results.
Every job starts with a problem and ends with a long-term solution. Here's a look at two recent projects.
Basement Walkout — Retaining Wall & Drainage
A basement walkout was being overwhelmed by runoff and faced a potential washout. A stable shelf was created, a retaining wall was installed, and proper drainage was engineered to ensure water flowed correctly and the area remained protected long-term.
Fence Line Erosion — Swale, Drain Tile & Berm
A sloped adjoining lot was causing washout along the client's entire fence line and sending runoff into the backyard. The area was regraded and a swale was built to direct water toward the alley. A trench was cut along the flow line and filled with 4" drain tile covered with 2" clean limestone for proper filtration. A diagonal berm was constructed to redirect sheet flow, and the disturbed area was seeded and strawed to prevent erosion while vegetation establishes.
