Grading, Landscaping & Equipment Rental in Northeast Georgia
Lexington, GA
Weather Tech Roofing works as a grading contractor for Lexington and the farm country around it. We build gravel drives, level pads for barns and shops, and reshape fields that hold water. Our crew comes from our base in Elberton. You get ground that drains, holds weight and is ready to use.
Lexington itself covers barely half a square mile. Most property near town is open land, woods and pasture. That kind of land needs longer drives, wider pads and more dirt moved. We size the work to the tract, from a single home site to a working farm.
Rural grading is about moving water as much as moving dirt. A long drive needs a crown and side ditches, or rain cuts it into ruts. A barn pad needs to sit higher than the ground around it. Both jobs come down to the same goal: water goes away and stays away.
A drive on open land takes a beating from rain and heavy trucks. Our team builds it with a raised center, so water runs off both edges. Side ditches then carry that water away from the road bed.
Where a drive crosses a low spot, a culvert pipe lets water pass underneath. In Lexington, grading work often starts with the drive, since every truck needs it. A firm, crowned drive also holds its gravel longer.

Before a pad goes in, brush and small trees usually have to come out. Land clearing opens the ground, and stump grinding takes care of what is left. Hauling brings in gravel or fill and takes debris away. Site preparation then sets a level, packed pad for a barn, shop or new home.
Bare soil around a new country home needs cover before the next storm. Hydroseeding sprays seed, mulch and water in one pass. It works well on big open areas. Sod gives an instant lawn near the house.

Under the topsoil, much of the Georgia Piedmont is red clay. Soil scientists describe it as firm, sticky and plastic when wet. When it is wet, truck tires squeeze it into ruts. Rain then follows those ruts and cuts them deeper.
We fix the shape of the drive first. A crowned bed and open ditches give water a path off the road. A layer of packed gravel then rides on top of the clay. That keeps the drive passable after heavy summer storms. We also work in nearby Rayle.

Give the water a way off the drive. That usually means a crowned center, side ditches and sometimes a culvert at the low point. Adding gravel alone rarely fixes it.
Yes. We clear the spot, strip the soft topsoil, then build up and pack a level pad. The pad sits a little higher than the ground so water drains away.
Usually, yes. Brush, roots and stumps make the ground settle later, so they come out first. We handle land clearing and stump grinding as part of the same job.
