Transforming Georgia’s landscapes through expert site preparation, precision grading, and excavation done right the first time.

Laying the Groundwork for Safe, Stable Civil Construction

Grading and excavation are among the most critical steps in any construction project. These services determine the stability of the structure, the effectiveness of drainage, and the overall success of the build. At Bayard Construction Group, we bring decades of civil construction experience to the field—ensuring every site we touch is ready to support lasting infrastructure.

Our grading and excavation process begins with site evaluation and planning to assess soil conditions, drainage requirements, and project specifications. We then use advanced equipment and GPS-guided technology to perform precise cuts, fills, and contour adjustments—resulting in a smooth, level surface engineered for long-term integrity.

From major commercial developments to residential subdivisions across Atlanta and the surrounding Georgia region, we’ve helped shape the foundation of countless projects. Whether it’s mass earthmoving, trenching for utilities, or finish grading for pavement and landscaping, our team delivers high-performance solutions that keep timelines tight and budgets on track.

We also prioritize safety and environmental compliance throughout the entire process. Our crews are trained in best practices for erosion control, stormwater management, and utility coordination—reducing risk while protecting nearby communities and ecosystems.

Types of Grading and Excavation Services We Provide

Grading and excavation can vary widely based on project type, location, and development goals. Bayard Construction Group offers a full suite of services to accommodate everything from large-scale earthwork to detailed finish grading.

  • Mass Excavation

    Bulk removal or relocation of large volumes of earth to reshape a site or accommodate new infrastructure.

    Rough grading sets the basic shape of the land, while finish grading finalizes slopes and elevations for concrete, asphalt, or landscaping.

  • Trenching and Utility Excavation

    Digging precise channels for water, sewer, gas, and electrical systems with minimal surface disruption.

  • Cut and Fill Balancing

    Strategic site leveling that minimizes hauling costs by redistributing existing soil.

  • Slope Stabilization and Erosion Control

    Installing geotextiles, sediment barriers, and drainage systems to protect surrounding land and waterways.
