Why People Trust Smith Grading LLC
Honest feedback from property owners and contractors who wanted solid work and clear communication
"He does real good driveway work. He is a awesome guy to get to do what u need."
"Cody did a great job was on time every day and went above and beyond my expectations."
"Cody and his team are terrific. We are talking clearing a 1/4 mile road putting in gravel and a culvert which got him to the 8 acres of forest to clear for 3 houses. Oh then he cleared the path and laid the conduit for electric to the houses. Cody got high praise from one of the home construction PMs as well as the chief engineer of the electric utility. We were blessed to have him as our "dirt guy." See before and after on one small section of road then views of cleared homesites."
"I would recommend Smith Grading to anyone who needs excavation or site work done. They filled in my pool and planted grass. Came when they said and worked hard getting it finished."
"Cody was able to plot out and dig a drainage ditch for me several months ago. I was experiencing detrimental runoff from rain and living on a hill. My septic tank was being unearthed, a huge ditch was about to wipe out my deck stairs not to mention an enormous loss of soil . His plan was exactly what was needed!! His work has most definitely made a difference in what’s happening in my yard! It’s finally looking like it’s back to normal with new growth! This company saved my yard and saved me a ton of money!!!! I highly recommend!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"
"We reached out to Cody and Darrell concerning a drainage issue on the back of our property and we are so glad we did. They were able to advise us on the solution with a quote and time frame.

We appreciate their professionalism, fair pricing & quality job. Highly recommend!"

"I hired Cody based on local's recommendations. I'm glad I did. Cody is a young, very likeable person. Cody came to my home to discuss the project, agreed to the project scope and costs. The project consisted of excavating an existing drainage ditch that was full of rocks and debris to the extent is was not functional and installing 18" HDPE double-walled culvert. The end result is excellent. Not only do I now have a fully functional drainage system, but I also have more useable land which increases the value of my home. I fully recommend Cody Smith LLC."
