At First Creek Land Services, we specialize in professional site preparation that sets the foundation for successful construction. Serving Rogersville, Florence, and surrounding North Alabama areas, our team provides grading, leveling, and compaction services that ensure your property is stable, well-drained, and ready to build on.
Whether you’re preparing a site for a new home, shop, barn, or driveway, we combine skilled workmanship with modern equipment to deliver precision results. Every project is completed with a focus on safety, soil stability, and long-term durability — so your investment stands strong from the ground up.
The Importance of Proper Site Preparation
Quality construction starts long before the first concrete is poured or the first post is set. Poorly prepared land can lead to uneven foundations, water pooling, and structural shifting over time.
That’s why our approach to site prep is comprehensive. We start by evaluating your land’s topography, drainage patterns, and soil conditions, then use that information to create a plan that ensures proper grading, compaction, and erosion control. Our goal is to prepare your land in a way that supports your project for decades, not just the short term.
From residential lots to rural and agricultural developments, we handle every stage with care — removing vegetation, cutting to grade, compacting soil, and shaping slopes for reliable drainage and accessibility.
Our Site Preparation Services Include:
Clearing & Excavation – Removing trees, stumps, and overgrowth to create a clean, workable site for construction.
Rough & Fine Grading – Establishing the correct elevation and slope for driveways, building pads, and yard areas.
Soil Compaction – Compacting fill and subgrade materials to prevent settling and ensure foundation stability.
Driveway & Access Road Preparation – Building strong, graded bases for gravel or paved driveways.
Erosion & Drainage Management – Installing swales, ditches, or culverts to control runoff and prevent water damage.
Pad Construction for Buildings – Creating properly graded, compacted pads for homes, barns, or metal buildings.
We tailor each service to your project’s needs. Whether you’re developing an empty lot or reworking existing terrain, we’ll make sure your site is balanced, stable, and ready for the next phase of construction.
Our Approach to Site Prep
Every property is different — and so is every build. At First Creek, we don’t rely on a single formula. We begin each job with a site walk-through to understand the natural slope, soil makeup, and drainage behavior. From there, we map out a plan that accounts for water flow, compaction levels, and accessibility, ensuring that the finished grade supports your structure and surrounding land.
Our process combines heavy equipment precision with local expertise. Using excavators, skid steers, and compactors, we move and shape earth efficiently while maintaining control and accuracy. We also keep erosion prevention in mind at every step — because a site that’s level but unstable won’t stay that way for long.
Whether the job involves cutting into hillsides, filling low areas, or compacting a pad for a new home, we deliver results that last.
