About Gradeworx Contracting, LLC
Serving the Capital District & Surrounding Areas
At Gradeworx Contracting, LLC, we specialize in comprehensive site preparation services—including dirt work, grading, hydroseeding, stump grinding, drainage solutions, and more. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to transform your backyard or a business needing reliable ground services, we’re here to deliver quality results with integrity.
Gradeworx was born from a simple idea: to bring professionalism, transparency, and clear communication back to the contracting world. In an industry where “good enough” is often the norm, we’ve built our reputation on going above and beyond—for every client, on every project, no matter the size.
What began in 2023 as a side hustle with a close friend—taking on small local projects and buying/selling equipment—quickly gained traction through word of mouth. Driven by client satisfaction and a relentless work ethic, Justin made the leap into full-time business ownership and has been growing Gradeworx ever since. The philosophy is simple: do great work, and the clients will come.
We know budgets come in all shapes and sizes, and we take pride in offering tailored solutions to meet every need. From basic grading to full-scale backyard transformations, our team is committed to treating your project like it’s our own—with honest pricing, straightforward communication, and an approachable, small-business feel.
If you’ve got a vision—or even just a rough idea—we’d love to help you shape it into reality. Whether you're troubleshooting a drainage issue or dreaming up a fresh landscape, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s talk about what’s possible. Reach out today to get started.
OUR SERVICES
Hydroseeding
Transform your landscape quickly and affordably with our professional hydroseeding services. Hydroseeding is a highly effective method for establishing lush, healthy grass on residential lawns, commercial properties, and large-scale developments. We apply a custom-blended slurry of grass seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water directly into your soil, promoting fast germination and even coverage.
Whether you're starting a new lawn, repairing bare spots, or controlling erosion on slopes, hydroseeding offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. Our team ensures the right seed mix is used for your specific soil and sun conditions, delivering results you can see in just a few weeks.
Drainage & Excavation
Proper drainage and expert excavation are the foundation of any successful outdoor project--and we specialize in both. Our team handles everything from french and gutter drains to full scale grading and excavation services. Whether you're dealing with standing water, erosion issues, or preparing a site for construction, we've got the equipment and experience to get the job done right.
We assess your property's unique needs and implement tailored solutions to manage stormwater, prevent damage, and ensure long-term stability.
Concrete Sidewalks, Pads, & Patios
Add durability, function and curb appeal to your property with professionally installed concrete. We specialize in concrete sidewalks, pads, and patios designed to suit your home's layout and lifestyle. Whether you're looking to create a clean, safe, walking path, pour a solid foundation for a shed, or build a custom patio for outdoor gatherings, we'll deliver quality work that lasts.
Our team handles everything from site prep to finishing touches with attention to detail and a commitment to long-term performance. Choose from standard broom finishes to more decorative stamped concrete--whatever your vision, we'll bring it to life.
Grading & Leveling
Proper grading is essential for directing water away from your home, preventing errosion, and creating a stable foundation for your outdoor space. We carefully assess the lay of your land and make the necessary adjustments to ensure effective drainage and long-term stability.
When it comes to leveling, we specialize in building solid, level pads for sheds, above-ground pools, patios, and other outdoor structures. Our pads are compacted, properly sloped where needed, and built to last--so you can install with confidence and avoid settling or shifting down the road.
Storm Cleanup
When storms hit, we're here to help you clean up and get back to normal. Our storm cleanup services cover everything from clearing debris to cutting up and hauling away downed trees, limbs, and damaged materials. Whether it's a few fallen branches or a yard full of storm wreckage, we bring the equipment and manpower to handle it quickly and safely.
Our storm cleanup services include, brush cleanup, debris hauling and site clearing--restoring safety and order to your property. Residential or light commercial, no job is too messy for us to manage.
Stump Grinding
Get rid of unsightly stumps and reclaim your yard with our professional stump grinding services. Whether you're dealing with a single stump or multiple, we grind them down below the surface to remove trip hazards, prevent regrowth, and make room for new landscaping or construction.
Our equipment allows us to access tight spaces and grind stumps of all sizes with minimal disruption to your yard. Once the stump is gone, we can also haul away the grindings or leave them for mulch--your choice.
Trucking & Hauling
We offer reliable medium-duty trucking and hauling services for homeowners, contractors, and landscapers. We are equipped to move a variety of materials and equipment safely and efficiently.
Whether you need bulk deliveries of topsoil, gravel, or stone--or youre relocating light equipment or debris--we've got the gear and experience to get it done. Perfect for jobs that are too big for a pickup but that don't require full commercial transport, our hauling services fill the gap with flexibility and dependability.
Snow & Ice Management
Stay on top of winter weather with our dependable snow and ice management services. We offer residential and light commercial snow plowing and salting. Our multiple trucks and routes ensure timely, consistent coverage throughout the season.
Our focus is on keeping driveways, private roads, and parking areas clear and safe--without the delays or hassle.
