Grading & Demolition Services
Protect Your Foundation. Direct Water Where It Belongs.
A new roof or gutter system can only do so much if the ground around your home is working against it. Poor grading sends water straight toward your foundation instead of away from it, leading to basement leaks, crawl space moisture, cracked slabs, and soggy, unusable yard space. Whether you are tackling a small cleanup job or a full exterior renovation, AJT Construction, Inc. can handle the grading and demolition work that gets your property ready.
Small jobs welcome. You don't need a full-scale renovation to call us; shed removal, a weekend deck demo, or a stubborn drainage issue are exactly the kind of jobs we take on.
Why Grading Matters
Foundation protection
Properly sloped soil carries water away from your home instead of pooling against the foundation, where it can cause cracking, settling, and basement or crawl space leaks.
Better gutter & downspout performance
Grading works hand-in-hand with your gutter system, giving discharged water somewhere to go instead of collecting back at the base of your home.
Fewer drainage problems
Corrects low spots, washouts, and standing water that damage landscaping and create muddy, unusable areas of your yard.
Erosion control
Proper slope and soil placement reduce erosion around walkways, patios, and planting beds.

How It Works
When you book a siding, roofing, or gutter project with AJT Construction, Inc., we will assess the grading around your home and identify any spots where water is pooling or draining toward the house instead of away from it. We will walk you through our findings and recommend a grading plan that fits your project and your yard so drainage is not an afterthought, it's built into the work from the start.
Need a standalone job like a shed removed, a site cleared, a drainage problem fixed on its own? We can handle those small exaction projects too.
