Dunnebacke ConstructorsDrainage & Erosion Control · Hendersonville, TN
Proper grading is the foundation of everything — drainage, driveways, building pads, and landscaping all depend on it. Dunnebacke Constructors grades land in Hendersonville, TN with drainage as the primary objective: water goes where it should, away from structures and off your property.
Most drainage problems are actually grading problems. Yards that flood, foundations that collect water, and driveways that wash out are often caused by incorrect grades — land that slopes toward where you don't want water to go. At Dunnebacke Constructors, we start every project by understanding the grade, and we fix grading problems as part of fixing drainage problems.
We handle everything from simple backyard regrading to full site preparation for new construction. Whether you need a building pad leveled and compacted, a sloped yard corrected to stop flooding, or rough and finish grading after construction, we have the equipment and the drainage expertise to do it right.
Full site grading for new construction lots — cutting, filling, and shaping to final grade specs with drainage built in.
Level, compacted building pads for homes, structures, and slabs — graded correctly and compacted to spec.
Regrading sloped areas that are causing drainage problems, erosion, or instability. Cut and fill to correct the problem grade.
Final pass grading after construction — smooth, drainage-correct surface ready for seeding, sod, or landscaping.
Fix low spots, correct grades around foundations, and regrade yards that pool water after rain.
Initial grading pass after clearing — shapes the site for drainage and preps it for utility work, foundations, or driveways.
Every grading decision we make is informed by where water needs to go. A few key principles we apply on every job:
A properly graded site that's left with bare soil will erode. We can follow grading with erosion control matting, seeding, straw, or permanent drainage installations to protect the work we've done. Most of our grading projects include at least some erosion protection — because a grade that washes away the first time it rains wasn't a complete job.
Yes. This is a common problem in Hendersonville — older neighborhoods especially can have grade issues that push water toward foundations. We regrade the area around the foundation, add fill if necessary, and create a positive slope that carries water away. In some cases we also install drainage to handle the total volume.
Land grading cost varies based on the area involved, how much cut and fill is needed, and what's being done with the spoil material. Simple yard regrading is typically more affordable than full site preparation. We provide free on-site estimates — call or text (615) 887-1194.
Yes. Final grade after construction is one of our standard services — we come in after the builder is done, smooth out the disturbed areas, ensure proper drainage grades, and prep the surface for seeding or sod. We work with builders and homeowners directly.
Yes. We can bring in clean fill material and compact it in layers to raise a low area. The key is making sure the raised area still drains — we grade the fill to ensure water has somewhere to go after the low spot is corrected.
