Wilmington Elite Grading & Excavation has served New Hanover county property owners, builders, and horse farm operators for over 20 years. Whether you're dealing with standing water, planning a new construction site, or need land grading, our crews can assess your property and provide a written estimate.
Wilmington Elite Grading & Excavation has completed grading and excavation work on more than 1,800 residential and commercial lots across the greater Wilmington region. Our crews understand New Hanover County's flood zone maps, Cape Fear River floodplain restrictions, and the sandy, well-drained soil common to coastal Southeastern North Carolina construction.
Our operators are trained on laser-guided grading systems, GPS machine control, and compaction testing equipment that verifies soil density meets 95% Proctor compaction standards before foundation work begins. Equipment operators complete manufacturer safety certification and OSHA 10-hour construction safety training.
More than 92% of customers who complete a project with us report they would use our services again for future site work, based on internal post-project surveys. Our completed project mix spans new home construction, commercial pad sites, septic system installs, drainage correction, pond excavation, and storm-damage debris removal following tropical storm activity.
A team member reviews your project details and, for most residential requests, schedules a site evaluation within one business day. Builder and commercial inquiries are routed to our project coordinator to confirm timeline and scope before a site visit.
We walk the property to measure existing grade, soil conditions, and drainage flow, then provide a written estimate with a project-specific timeline. There's no cost or obligation for this evaluation.
Once you approve the scope, we handle permitting through New Hanover County or the City of Wilmington where required and schedule your crew and equipment mobilization date.
