Ocala Grading & Skid Steer Experts

Services Include:

Under Brushing

Our team will come in and clear out the lower vegetation and brush beneath the canopy of trees on your property, without removing the mature trees themselves. This includes removing saplings, shrubs, vines, fallen limbs, and any other overgrown ground cover. The goal is to thin out the undergrowth and improve visibility, access, safety, and the overall health and appearance of the forested area.

Additional benefits include:
- Fire prevention
- Aesthetics
- Pest Control
- Trail or Site Preparation
- Forest Health

Grading Building Pads

Our team will come in and professionally level and shape the ground to create a stable, well-drained surface where your new structure will be built—whether it's a house, garage, barn, or commercial building. This process is a critical first step in preparing your property for construction. A well-graded pad is more than just dirt work—it’s the foundation for a successful build.

We’ll make sure your pad is:
- Properly elevated with a slight slope for drainage
- Leveled and compacted to prevent settling
- Customized to fit your land’s layout and soil conditions
- Built to meet local codes and inspection requirements

Land Clearing

Our team will clear your property of trees, brush, undergrowth, and other natural obstacles to create a clean, usable space that’s ready for whatever comes next—whether that’s building, farming, or just reclaiming overgrown land. We tailor every job to your property and your goals.

Our land clearing services include:
- Full-site clearing for building, farming, or recreation
- Selective clearing that preserves key trees or features
- Fast, efficient work using professional equipment
- Options for hauling away debris or mulching it into the soil
- Custom solutions based on your land and vision

Improper grading or attempting to clear land without professional equipment can cause serious drainage issues or even create safety hazards on your residential or commercial property. Don't let poor site preparation and uneven terrain damage your property's functionality any longer by contacting American Grounds Service for your grading and skid steer needs.

Using our professional heavy equipment and excavation expertise, we'll get your property properly graded and cleared so that you can be sure that drainage flows correctly and your site is ready for construction or landscaping.
