PRECISION

GPS Machine Control

We use advanced GPS machine control on every residential project — the same technology used on DOT highway projects. That means your driveway, building pad, and drainage are accurate to the inch, every single time.

📐

Precise grading — every time

No guesswork on driveways, lot grades, or building pads. Right the first time.

💧

Drainage done right

Proper slope and swale placement keeps water away from your home and foundation.

📅

Faster project timelines

GPS-guided machines work faster and more accurately — your project finishes on time.

What homeowners say

Trusted by West Michigan Homeowners

Terracon regraded our driveway and fixed the drainage along the side of our house. The standing water issue we'd dealt with for years was completely solved. Showed up on time and cleaned up perfectly.

We hired Terracon to clear our 2-acre lot and prep for our new home build. They worked closely with our contractor, stayed on schedule, and the grade was perfect. Would absolutely use them again.

From the estimate to the final grade, everything was smooth. Easy to get ahold of, answered all my questions, and the crew treated my property with respect. Highly recommend for any residential work.
