Clear, solid groundwork that gets your property ready for building.

Prudenville, MI

In Prudenville, we help homeowners get their property ready before the build, during the build, and after the build. Whether you need land clearing for a new home site, driveway site prep and a new driveway install, or drainage work to move water away from your home, we handle the heavy work that makes your land more usable and your project run smoother.

Prudenville is known for lake living, cabins, year-round homes, and properties that need smart grading because of shifting weather, wet ground, and changing elevations. Around Houghton Lake and the surrounding area, proper grading is not just about looks. It helps protect your investment, improve access, and reduce water problems before they become expensive repairs.

Grading and site work built for Prudenville properties

At True North Grading LLC, we are based nearby in Lake City, and we take pride in serving homeowners in Prudenville with honest communication and practical site solutions. We understand the needs of Northern Michigan properties, from wooded lots that need clearing to soft or uneven ground that needs proper prep before a driveway or yard can hold up.

We focus on making your property more functional. That means planning the grade correctly, preparing a solid base, and shaping the land so water moves where it should. If you are building a new home, adding a driveway, fixing drainage issues, or cleaning up a lot before construction, we can help.

Our Prudenville grading services

  • Land clearing: Clearing trees, brush, and overgrowth to open up your site for a new home, garage, driveway, or other project.
  • Driveway site prep: Preparing the area with proper grading and base work so your new driveway starts right.
  • New driveway installs: Installing new driveways that improve access, function, and curb appeal.
  • Drainage solutions: Correcting low spots, runoff issues, and poor grading to help move water away from structures and usable yard areas.
  • Yard grading: Smoothing and reshaping land after a build so the property drains better and looks finished.
  • Backfilling: Filling and grading around foundations and other areas after construction.
  • Pre-build site prep: Getting raw land ready for the next step of your residential build.
  • General grading and excavation support: Handling the dirt work that ties your whole project together.

Why Prudenville homeowners choose us

We know hiring for site work can feel stressful. You want someone who shows up, communicates clearly, and gives you a straight answer. That is how we run our business.

  • Local and community-focused: We are a locally owned company based in Lake City, and we believe in keeping money local whenever possible.
  • Residential project experience: We work with homeowners, especially on new home builds and all the prep work that comes before and after construction.
  • High-touch communication: We set a time for an on-site estimate, send a reminder text the day before, and send a courtesy text when we are on the way.
  • Respectful service: We even offer to bring a drink on the way out. It is a small thing, but it shows how we treat people.
  • Fast estimating: In many cases, we calculate the bid on site in about 15 to 20 minutes, then send the official estimate by email that night.
  • Budget-minded approach: If the first scope is not the right fit, we ask customers to call us before declining so we can see if there is a way to adjust the project.

Our estimate and scheduling process

When you call True North Grading LLC at (231) 878-6056, we start by talking through your property, your goals, and the work you need done. Then we set up an on-site visit in Prudenville.

At the appointment, we walk the property with you, take measurements, and talk through the details. If it is land clearing, we look at how much needs to be removed. If it is a driveway install, we measure for materials and layout. If it is drainage grading, we look closely at water flow, low spots, and problem areas. We prepare a bid on site whenever possible, and the official estimate is emailed that evening with an option to approve or decline. A 10% deposit gets your job on the schedule.

Serving homeowners throughout Prudenville

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Prudenville and the surrounding Houghton Lake area. If your property has standing water, a rough driveway entrance, a wooded build site, or unfinished grading after construction, we are ready to help. No matter where you are in Prudenville, we bring the same hands-on service and straightforward communication to every job.

Please note that grading and drainage work are affected by site conditions and weather. We do not offer a warranty, and we cannot guarantee against weather-related damage such as heavy rain washouts. What we do promise is honest recommendations, solid workmanship, and a team that wants to do the job right.

"Cody worked on a property we own for two full days. On both days, he was punctual and professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable about which of his machine attachments will work best as well as how to use his time in the smartest way possible. Seeing our property from start to finish was a huge difference - it went from a huge overgrown mess with countless trailer loads of wood to a cleared area of level dirt. I would recommend Cody and True North Grading any day - you won't be disappointed"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🚜👏🏽🏡"

"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."

"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."
