Our Services

Complete Yard and Property Grading Services

M4 Landworks offers expert land clearing, excavation, grading, and more to transform your property with precision and care.

Yard and Landscape Preparation

Prepare your yard for landscaping, sod installation, or outdoor living spaces with professional grading services. We level and smooth the surface, establish proper drainage slopes, and remove problem areas that would interfere with your landscaping plans. Proper preparation creates a stable foundation that supports healthy plant growth and prevents water pooling.

New Construction Finish Grading

Complete your construction project with professional finish grading that prepares your site for landscaping and final use. After major construction work is complete, finish grading establishes final elevations, smooths rough surfaces, and creates proper drainage slopes around new structures. This critical step ensures water flows away from foundations and provides a clean surface ready for topsoil, sod, or landscaping installation.

Property & Site Grading

Improve your property’s drainage, functionality, and appearance with comprehensive site grading services. We reshape and level your land to create proper water flow, eliminate standing water, and prepare surfaces for construction or improvements. Good grading protects structures from water damage and creates usable spaces where water problems once made land difficult to use.

Erosion Control & Slope Stabilization

Protect your property from soil loss and maintain safe, stable slopes with our erosion control services. We assess problem areas, design solutions that work with your terrain, and implement stabilization techniques that prevent further damage. Our approach combines proper grading, drainage management, and strategic surface treatments to keep soil in place and slopes stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know you’ve got questions about our services, and we’re here to help. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive. 

How much do grading services cost?

Grading costs vary depending on the size of the area, complexity of the work, drainage requirements, and site conditions. Each project is different, so we need to assess your property to provide an accurate estimate. That said, our typical minimum starting cost for grading projects is $1,800.

Common signs include standing water after rain, water flowing toward your foundation, muddy or eroded areas, uneven ground that’s difficult to mow or use, and drainage problems that affect driveways or landscaping. If water isn’t moving away from structures or you have areas of your property that stay wet, grading can likely help.

Yes. We work carefully around trees, landscaping, and structures to minimize impact while achieving proper grading. In some cases, we may need to discuss adjustments to landscaping or recommend protective measures, but we always aim to preserve what you want to keep while solving drainage and grading issues.

Yes, we work throughout the year and adjust our schedule based on weather and ground conditions. Oregon winters can present challenges, but we plan around them to keep projects moving when conditions allow.

You don’t need to be on-site during the entire project, but we do recommend being available for the initial walkthrough and final inspection. We’ll communicate with you regularly and reach out if we need to discuss any changes or decisions during the work.
