Grading Services | Fortner Landscape in Mt. Holly, NC

When colder months bring colder rains, saturated soil, and frost-heave risk, getting your land properly graded isn’t just about appearance—it’s about stability, safety, and long-term performance. At Fortner Landscapes, our grading team specializes in preparing your property for year-round use and seasonal shifts. With over 16 years of experience in the Mt Holly and Belmont region, we ensure your land is a reliable foundation for construction, landscaping or hardscape additions—no matter what the weather brings.

Why Grading Matters

When terrain isn’t shaped correctly, several issues can arise:
• Poor drainage leads to standing water, frozen patches or saturated soil near your home’s foundation.
• Erosion from winter runoff or thaw cycles can undermine slopes and landscaping.
• Uneven surfaces make construction of patios, driveways or walkways difficult (and costly) in colder weather.


Our grading services address these concerns by creating a smooth, properly sloped surface tailored to your project’s needs.
