The success of any foundation, driveway or parking area depends on the ground underneath it. Xcavate Land Solutions provides professional grading and site preparation in Lafayette, Louisiana and across Acadiana for homeowners, builders, contractors and landowners.
We set accurate elevations, shape the ground so water drains away from structures, and place and compact fill to create a stable building pad. Combined with our land clearing, excavation and drainage work, we can take your property from raw land to a build-ready site with one crew.
From a single home pad to a multi-acre commercial site, Xcavate Land Solutions brings the right equipment, accurate elevations, and a clear plan to every grading project across Acadiana.
House pads, slab prep, driveways, additions, pools and yard leveling, graded to the right elevation so your build stays dry and your yard drains properly.
Building pads, parking lots, roadways and full site prep for contractors and developers, built to plan and ready for inspection, concrete and paving.
Barn and shop pads, equipment yards, access roads and field leveling that hold up to heavy use and South Louisiana rain.
Regrading low spots and poorly sloped yards to move water away from your home and reduce standing water, soggy ground and erosion.
We build and shape house, shop and commercial pads to the right size and elevation, then place and compact fill in lifts so your slab or foundation sits on firm, stable ground.
We cut and fill to set the basic elevations and contours of your site, establishing the shape of the land before foundations, utilities and driveways go in.
Final, precise shaping of the surface after construction, preparing your property for sod, seed, landscaping, concrete or paving with smooth, even slopes.
We grade the ground with the proper fall to carry rainwater away from homes, buildings and driveways, helping prevent flooding, foundation problems and erosion.
We haul in quality fill dirt, spread it in layers and compact each lift to raise low areas and build up pads that will not settle over time.
Uneven yards, lots and fields leveled out for construction, lawns, pasture or equipment areas, making your property safer and easier to use and maintain.
Grading is the step most people never see, but it decides whether a slab cracks, a yard floods or a driveway washes out. Getting the elevations and compaction right the first time saves expensive repairs later.
At Xcavate Land Solutions, we walk the site, look at the soil and how water moves across the property, and plan the grade before we start. From small residential pads to large commercial and agricultural sites, we bring the equipment and experience to deliver a stable, well-drained site, on schedule.
From your first conversation to the final grade, we keep site preparation clear and hassle-free. You will always know what is happening on your site and what comes next.

Site preparation is everything that gets a property ready for construction: clearing trees and brush, removing topsoil and debris, excavating, bringing in fill, grading to the correct elevations and compacting the ground so the foundation sits on stable soil.
Rough grading sets the general shape and elevations of the site before construction. Finish grading is the final, more precise shaping after construction that prepares the surface for sod, landscaping, concrete or paving.
Cost depends on the size of the area, how much soil needs to be cut or filled, the amount of fill dirt required, soil conditions and access. We review your project and provide a free, clear quote before any work begins.
With heavy rainfall and flat, clay-rich soils, poor grading quickly leads to standing water, soft spots, foundation movement and flooding. Correct slopes and compaction keep water moving away from your home and keep the ground stable.
Pad height depends on your flood zone, the parish or city requirements, surrounding grades and your builder or engineer plans. We build pads to the elevation specified for your project and can help coordinate with your builder.
