Cadillac, MI Grading

At True North Grading LLC, we help Cadillac homeowners get their property ready before the build starts and cleaned up after the house goes up. If you need land clearing, driveway site prep, new driveway installation, yard grading, backfilling, or drainage work, we bring practical solutions that make your property safer, more usable, and easier to maintain.

Cadillac is known for its strong outdoor lifestyle, changing seasons, and mix of wooded land, new home sites, and rural properties. That also means grading work here needs to be done with local conditions in mind. From soft ground and runoff issues to access roads and sloped lots, we understand the kind of site work Cadillac properties often need.

Built for Cadillac properties

We work with homeowners across the Cadillac area who want solid site preparation and honest service. Whether you are starting a new home build or fixing problems on an existing property, we focus on making the land function the way it should.

• Land clearing for future home sites and building pads
• Driveway site prep and new driveway installs
• Yard grading after construction
• Backfilling around foundations
• Drainage solutions to move water away from your home
• General grading to improve slope, access, and usability
• Demolition and prep work for select projects

Why Cadillac homeowners call us

We are a locally owned company based in Lake City, and we take pride in serving nearby communities like Cadillac. We believe in keeping money local and treating people right. Our estimate process is personal, clear, and respectful of your time. When you call, we set up an on-site visit, send a reminder text the day before, and follow up with a courtesy text before we arrive. We even offer to bring you a drink on the way. It is a small touch, but it shows how we do business.

When we get to your property, we walk the site with you, listen to your goals, take measurements, and build a quote based on the actual scope of work. In most cases, we can calculate your bid on site in about 15 to 20 minutes, and we email the official estimate that night with a simple option to approve or decline. If the project feels over budget, we are happy to talk through scope changes when possible.

Site work that solves real problems

Good grading is about more than moving dirt. It helps prevent water damage, supports a stable driveway, improves drainage, and gives your property a finished look. If your lot holds water, your driveway washes out, or your yard needs final grading after a build, we can help create a practical plan for your Cadillac property.

We do want to be upfront: we do not offer a warranty, and no contractor can fully control extreme weather. Heavy rain and other conditions can affect the ground and cause washouts. What we can promise is honest communication, experienced work, and a strong effort to shape your property the right way from the start.

Our process is simple

1. Call us at (231) 878-6056 to talk through your project.
2. We schedule an on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
3. We send a reminder text the day before and a courtesy text before arrival.
4. We walk the property, take measurements, and discuss your goals.
5. We provide a bid and email the official estimate that night.
6. A 10% deposit gets your project on the schedule.
