Grading, Landscaping & Equipment Rental in Northeast Georgia
Athens, GA
Grading contractor work in Athens, GA, often means tight in-town lots. Weather Tech Roofing shapes yards, lots and building sites so rain runs away from homes and buildings. Good grading keeps water out of crawl spaces and off your driveway. It also gives you level ground for a lawn, patio or addition.
Our team works for homeowners, property owners and businesses across Athens. We handle grading, site preparation, land clearing and erosion control. Landscaping is our second focus, with sod, retaining walls and pavers. One local team can take a job from bare dirt to a finished yard.
In-town lots need careful grading because neighbors sit close on every side. We set the slope so your water leaves your yard without flooding the lot next door. On larger sites, we prepare pads and drives for new buildings. Either way, the goal is ground that drains and stays put.
Roofs, drives and patios shed water fast instead of soaking it up. With nowhere to go, it pools by the foundation or cuts ruts in the yard. We regrade the ground so hard-surface runoff spreads out and moves away from the house.
Grading in Athens often means fitting the work between fences, trees and the house next door. We fit the work to tight spaces and keep it inside your property line. After the dirt work, we cover bare red clay fast so it does not wash.

Grading shapes the ground, and site preparation gets a lot ready to build. Land clearing removes brush and small trees first when a lot is overgrown. Erosion control keeps soil in place while the ground is bare. We handle all three, so one team keeps the job moving.
Once the grade is right, landscaping turns bare dirt into a usable yard. A retaining wall holds back soil on a slope and creates flat space. Pavers give you a patio or walkway on a firm, packed base.
Our Services
We handle grading, site work, landscaping, hauling and equipment rental in Athens. We work with homes, farms and businesses in nearby towns too.
Athens-Clarke County has more than 425 miles of streams and rivers. Georgia law keeps a 25-foot buffer along the banks of state waters. Athens-Clarke adds a 75-foot buffer from the bank of most year-round streams. Machine work and tree cutting are limited inside it. So a yard near a creek may have less room to grade than it seems.
We plan grading to stay out of these buffers and keep mud out of the water. Silt fence goes up below bare ground, and grass goes down soon after. Our team holds certification with the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission. That training guides how we keep soil in place. We also work in nearby Winterville.

251-947-0767Yes, Weather Tech Roofing handles both grading and landscape installation for Athens properties. We shape the ground first, then add sod, walls, pavers or irrigation. You deal with one team from start to finish.
Yes, grading can send your runoff to the street, a swale or a safe low spot. On small lots, we plan the slope so water does not cross the property line.
Yes, regrading can turn surface water away from a basement entrance. We lower or reshape the ground near the door so runoff heads elsewhere. Water coming up through the floor or walls needs a different fix.
Most single-family yard work under one acre does not need a land disturbance permit from Athens-Clarke. Larger jobs, or work close to state waters, can need one. The county Public Works Department issues those permits.
Yes, a patio adds hard surface, so more water runs off instead of soaking in. We grade around it so that water heads away from the house. Athens-Clarke also counts patios when it sorts homes for its stormwater fee.
