Expert Grading in Horry County, SC

Proper grading is one of the first steps in preparing any lot for construction or improvement in Horry County, SC. Grand Strand Disposal moves, cuts, and compacts soil to create a stable, level surface ready for building, paving, or landscaping. We work on residential lots, commercial parcels, and raw land throughout the county. Horry County's low-lying coastal terrain and sandy soil make drainage a real concern. Without correct grading, water pools near foundations, erodes driveways, and saturates yards after heavy rain. We shape the land so water moves away from structures and toward proper drainage paths. Our crew uses tracked equipment suited to soft coastal soils, keeping disruption to surrounding areas low. Whether you are breaking ground on a new build or correcting an existing drainage problem, we assess the site conditions first and grade to a plan. Contact Grand Strand Disposal to schedule a site visit for your Horry County grading project.

Grading FAQ

Common questions about grading in Horry County, SC.

Yes, grading is required before most construction in Horry County to create a stable, level base. It also helps your site meet local stormwater drainage standards.

Yes, regrading the low spots redirects water away from your yard and toward proper drainage paths. Many Horry County properties pool water due to flat, sandy soil that settles unevenly over time.

We grade residential lots, commercial sites, driveways, and raw land across Horry County. Any project that needs a level, compacted surface before building or paving is a fit for our grading service.

Water pooling near your foundation or driveway after rain is a clear sign your lot needs regrading. Uneven ground, soft spots, and visible erosion channels are other common signs in Horry County properties.

I was very pleased with Blake and his company. He demolished my mobile home on March 2, 2026. He also placed some of the parts of my mobile home that I plan to use for other purposes on another part of my lot. He did encounter a problem with a power wire very near the top of the side porch of the mobile home, but he saw that the problem was remedied to my satisfaction. The job site was left clean. I was impressed with Blake and have his company in my office go to file for any future work that needs to be done. Thanks Blake.

I had an area of my property that was over grown with small and dead trees and under bush. I contacted many other companies by phone, text and facebook and they agreed to come give me and estimate. None of those companies ever showed up. Blake Porter came for the estimate at the scheduled time and set a date to do the job within a week. They got the job done quickly and as agreed. We are thrilled! Blake Porter is very professional, responsive and the price was reasonable. Thank you!

Grand Strand Disposal and Blake Porter have done numerous jobs for me including demolition, site clean up and dumpster service. Top notch company and people. Always prompt and professional but most of all on residential demolition they are extremely clean, careful and polite. I have no need to go anywhere else for theses services. I have used a few in the past and they are by far the best and a pleasure to have on my team! Brian S. Stahley Vision Construction Services
