Dirt Grading & Leveling Services — Central Indiana

Mann Excavation & Sitework grades and levels yards, lots, driveways, and pads across Central Indiana with a skid steer — fast, accurate, and graded for drainage, not just appearance.

Grading isn't just pushing dirt around. Bad grading sends water at the foundation, kills grass, and washes out gravel. We grade with slope-to-drain on every job so the work actually solves the problem.

Typical scope: regrade a yard with low spots, level a backyard for new sod, finish-grade a building pad, smooth out a torn-up jobsite, or shape a gravel driveway after washouts.

Dirt Grading & Leveling Capabilities

Yard Regrading

Fill low spots, re-slope away from foundations, smooth for new grass or sod.

Lot Leveling

Rough and finish grading on residential lots before landscaping or construction.

Pad Finish Grading

Final compacted grade on shed, garage, and pole barn pads.

Driveway Reshaping

Re-crown gravel driveways, fill ruts, and restore the slope so they drain.

Smooth out post-construction sites and contractor cleanup grading.

Fill Dirt Placement

Bring in fill dirt or topsoil and grade it in — single mobilization.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Site Walk

    Identify low spots, water paths, and target drainage direction.

  2. 2

    Material Plan

    Decide on cut-fill balance or how much fill dirt / topsoil to bring in.

  3. 3

    Grade

    Skid steer rough grades, then finish grades with a smooth, compacted surface.

  4. 4

    Verify Slope

    Confirm slope-to-drain so water actually leaves the area.
