Light Grading – Land Leveling Services in Albuquerque, NM

Common Light

Grading Projects

Not every project needs large-scale earthmoving – sometimes a light touch is just right to shape your land. Our light grading services in Albuquerque, NM cover those small to mid-size jobs like smoothing out a bumpy yard, preparing a level pad for a shed, or correcting drainage on your property. Even minor elevation changes can cause major water problems during New Mexico’s rains. Groundbreaking Services is here to ensure your ground is level where it needs to be and sloped where it should be for proper runoff.

We use professional skid-steer attachments like a Harley Rake and land plane to achieve clean, precise results. Our grading services help control drainage, prep for landscaping, or create level areas for sheds and patios. With the right equipment in skilled hands, we perform efficient, accurate grading on any small-to-medium property. From scraping high spots and filling low spots to breaking up hard soil clods for a smoother finish, we’ll transform uneven terrain into a stable, even surface ready for your plans.

Leveling a backyard or lot for new landscaping, sod, or a garden.
