Just in from Dallas! We’re not talking about Texas, but THE Dallas, Georgia. 1 full year in business on his own coming up next month which is so awesome to see. 10 years of experience beforehand and 3rd generation. The industry needs more incredible companies like @leadingedgegrading. When asked what kind of advice he’d give to someone looking to start a business, this is what he said: “My advice would be, Be prepared. But don't haste away time. Look into the laws regarding your scope. Do the research. Ask questions and don't get discouraged when they don't come easy. Be honest and have integrity. Utilize connections and make sure you maintain great relationships. Don't break but allow yourself to bend and lastly, be better than the others who came before. Make your company into something for the next generation of trades.” Absolutely love it 📍 Dallas, GA 🪨 @leadingedgegrading

Erosion control. From beginning to end. Proper erosion control and maintenance throughout the cycle of a project is key to success. It can be time consuming and tedious. But it's one of the most important details to any successful project. Using BMP's and going to extra mile to ensure your SWPPP ( Storm Water Prevention Protection Plan) is in tip top shape should be a priority. Because, the cost of not keeping up with it can lead to a lot of headache and be detrimental to the Environment.

LEADING THE WAY THROUGH GRADING!

After significant seat time in the new we can definitely say that has made major improvements to this size over the old . From cab size to a little extra HP and the Transmission is spot on now. The auto up and down shifting are almost perfect. The overall balance of the tractor is noticeably better. There are some minor nit picks but overall I'd give this new dozer a solid 8 out of 10.
Have you ran a Next Gen D5? If so what are your thoughts?
We definitely approve!

Here we have a install we started on Thursday. As in the video over time a spring had formed. Causing terrible yard issues. Always muddy and soft. Barley would withstand a lawnmower. So we were called in and with the help of and their products we were able to get our client set up right. He always wanted to have access to pull a truck and trailer around. Now our client can. With the type of we used and better brought in he will be able to do so. This job presented its own set of challenges. We were limited on elevation change and brought in several loads of to raise the yard to allow proper drainage underneath and on top of the . Once it was laid we regraded, wespread the remaining topsoil, and placed seed and straw down. Our knocked this project out in two days. If you have and issues give us a call.

Just wrapped up this project for our customer. She couldn't utilize her back yard with the heavy brush and briars. So we stripped it, made a beauty strip of the material on the lower half to save cost on haul away. Graded the slope and used some of the existing material to level out the bottom portion of the yard. Customer is extremely happy and saved so much time and money going simple instead of retaining walls. Call us for your free estimate and 10% off during June! Let us show you our passion for grading!

Here's a few pics of a gravel driveway extension we fixed for our customer. We removed the existing base which was laced with unsuitable materials. Such as rebarb, concrete and dirt/rock mix. Once removed we regraded and added geotextile fabric then replaced with fresh crushed stone. Over all it took 2 days and came out really great. Call us for your grading and construction needs. We offer free estimates. Here at Leading Edge Grading we offer for INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY, and HONESTY. Let us show you our passion for grading and construction.

Here's some before and after pics of our most recent project. Full backyard regrade. We began by removing all the stumps from the trees that were recently taken down. Some of these stumps caused us to dig down quite a bit. Once the site was cleared and stripped of topsoil we balanced the site. The project took 3.5 days. This was a super fun for us. The client was spectacular and super pleased with the final product. For any needs call us. Big or small we'll do them all! Reach out for your grading and clearing needs!
