— Our Top Services
At True North Grading LLC, we’re proud to serve homeowners in Le Roy, MI with honest, hands-on site work that helps make property improvements simple and stress-free. We work with a lot of homeowners before and after a new home build, handling the groundwork that makes the rest of the project go smoother. If you need land cleared, a driveway installed, rough or finish grading, backfilling, or drainage help, we’re ready to get your property functional and build-ready.
Because we’re based in Lake City, Le Roy is part of the local area we know well. We understand the mix of open land, wooded lots, rural driveways, and drainage challenges that come with Northern Michigan properties. Our goal is simple: give you solid work, clear communication, and a smooth process from the first phone call to the final grade.
We focus on residential grading and excavation services that improve access, drainage, and usable space on your property. Whether you’re starting from raw land or cleaning up after construction, we can help shape the site the right way.
A lot of the work we do in Le Roy is for homeowners building a new house or improving a rural property. That means we’re often involved before the house goes up and after the main construction is done. We can clear land, prep the driveway, shape the yard, backfill around the home, and correct drainage issues that can lead to standing water, washouts, or muddy areas.
Good grading is about more than making a property look nice. It helps protect your investment, improves drainage, supports safe access, and makes your land easier to use. We take the time to walk the property with you, understand your goals, and recommend a practical plan that fits your site and budget.
We keep our estimate process personal and straightforward. When you call, we’ll talk through the project and set up an on-site estimate. The day before, we send a reminder text. Then about 15 to 60 minutes before arrival, we send a courtesy text to let you know we’re on the way. We even offer to grab you a drink on the way in. It’s a small thing, but we believe service still matters.
Once we’re on site, we walk the property with you, take measurements, and talk through the scope. In most cases, we can calculate a bid on the spot in about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the project. We’ll go over the estimate in person, then send the official written estimate by email that night so you can approve or decline it easily. If the price is outside your budget, we ask that you call us before declining so we can see if there’s a way to adjust the scope and make it work.
We’re a local company, and we believe in keeping money in the local community. We’re not a big out-of-town operation sending someone you’ve never met. We take pride in doing the work ourselves, showing up when we say we will, and treating people with respect. That local, high-touch approach is a big reason customers call us for driveway grading, land clearing, drainage correction, and new construction site prep.
We also believe in being upfront. We do not offer a warranty because grading and drainage conditions can be affected by weather, including heavy rain and washouts. But we will always be honest about the site conditions, the plan, and what we believe will give you the best result for your property.
Whether you’re on a wooded lot, an open piece of land, or a property that needs cleanup after a build, we’re ready to help anywhere in Le Roy. No matter where you’re located in the area, we bring the same care, professionalism, and attention to detail to every job.
If you need grading, land clearing, driveway site prep, a new driveway install, or drainage solutions in Le Roy, call True North Grading LLC at (231) 878-6056. We’d be glad to talk through your project, schedule an on-site estimate, and help you move forward with confidence.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough good things about True North Grading! After all the heavy rain washed out our gravel driveway, they came out quickly and completely transformed it. They took the time to smooth everything out, properly grade the driveway, and add fresh gravel where it was needed. The difference is incredible—not only does it look great, but it's much safer and easier to drive on. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of work really stood out. It's clear they take pride in what they do. If you're looking for someone reliable to repair, grade, or improve your driveway, I highly recommend True North Grading. Excellent service, fair pricing, and outstanding results. Thank you for a job well done! 🚜👏🏽🏡"
"Cody did outstanding work!"
"Super quick to answer questions and to get me scheduled after a quote! Added some curb appeal back to our home!"
"This spring we decided to go with True North Grading to give our garden a makeover. Cody did a great job, he was very professional and had a great game plan as to how we could regenerate the soil. We will be having him back in the very near future to do a few more projects!"
"Cody was amazing to work with. We didn't really know what we wanted to do with our driveway, so he quoted us for two different things. We will definitely use him again for more projects."
"Did amazing job! Highly recommended"
"I was impressed with the time spent explaining my options for improving my drive. Cody was very honest in offering differing materials and what I could expect from them. I chose crushed concrete and it turned out excellent. No puddles when it rained and looks great. I secured 3 bids last fall but all said it was too late in the season. All assured me that they would touch base this Spring. Cody is the only one to follow up. Highly recommend!! Father son team was a pleasure too. Local is always the way to go."
"Cody was very conscientious about doing an excellent job of filling and grading our taxiway. It was full of ruts and mud holes to the point of being unpassable. He brought a clay/gravel mixture and filled everything in. It rained before it set, so he came back twice to make sure it was perfectly done. I highly recommend True North Grading."
"We had True North add gravel and grade our driveway. I never realized how bad it was until Cody made it great. The true test is a Michigan winter. It held up great and cut my snow removal time in half."
"Great customer service! Dependable & honest! Will use again!"
"True North Grading has been taking care of our gravel drive at Cardinal Creations, and we have been very pleased. Very professional, and their work has held up very well. Highly recommend."
"Cody from True North Grading installed my driveway for my new build in lake city. He did great work and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend him. If I have any future jobs, he will be the one I call."
"Great service and communication. Recommend!"
"I was very pleased with the work that Cody did filling in gravel and grading of drive. Will certainly call on True North Grading if needed in the future"
