Services

A Grade Above provides a complete range of earthwork and utility services to prepare commercial and residential project sites for construction.

What We Offer:

  • A Grade Above provides comprehensive erosion control services to protect your site, meet environmental regulations, and keep your project on schedule.

    We install and maintain silt fencing, sediment basins, inlet protection, construction entrances, slope stabilization, and temporary or permanent seeding to prevent soil displacement and stormwater runoff.

    With a commitment to sustainability, we implement responsible stormwater management practices that reduce environmental impact and ensure compliance with local and state requirements to protect surrounding properties and waterways.

  • As a full-service site contractor, our job starts at the beginning: ensuring your property is properly established before any construction begins.

    Our land clearing prepares a clean foundation so the project can move forward safely and on schedule.

    For larger-scale clearing needs, we’ve built strong partnerships with some of the top land clearing subcontractors in Upstate South Carolina, allowing us to coordinate and manage the entire process seamlessly from start to finish.

  • Our earth moving and excavating services lay the groundwork for successful construction through precise planning, skilled operation, and attention to detail.

    We handle everything from large-scale mass grading and cut-and-fill balancing to trenching, foundation excavation, building pads, and site preparation for utilities and paving.

    Using modern equipment and experienced operators, we carefully move, shape, and compact soil to meet engineered specifications and drainage requirements. The result is a stable, properly graded site that supports long-term structural integrity and keeps your project progressing efficiently from the ground up.

  • Our storm drainage services are designed to protect your property and infrastructure by managing water flow safely and efficiently.

    We install underground storm drain systems, including piping, inlets, catch basins, culverts, and detention components, all built to meet engineered plans and municipal requirements.

    With careful grading and precise installation, we ensure proper slope and flow to prevent standing water, erosion, and long-term structural damage. From new developments to site upgrades, our team delivers dependable drainage solutions that keep your project compliant, functional, and built to withstand the elements.

  • We install domestic water mains and sanitary sewer systems with careful attention to depth, grade, and alignment, ensuring full compliance with engineered plans and local municipal standards.

    From trenching and pipe installation to testing and final tie-ins, our team focuses on precision, safety, and long-term performance. The result is a reliable utility system built to support your development and operate efficiently for years to come.

    We work with a variety of piping materials, including reinforced ductile iron and PVC, across commercial and residential projects. Our experience also extends to the installation of pump stations and force mains, providing complete utility solutions from start to finish.

  • We provide retaining wall construction services designed to deliver both structural integrity and a clean, finished look for your project. By partnering with some of the top subcontractors in the Upstate, we ensure every wall is built to the highest standards durability and craftsmanship.

    From preparation and proper drainage installation to precise grading and final construction, every phase is carefully coordinated to meet engineered specifications and withstand long-term conditions. The result is a retaining wall system that not only performs as intended but enhances the overall value and appearance of your development.

  • At A Grade Above, we offer curbing services through partnerships with some of the top subcontractors in Upstate South Carolina.

    Our partners are responsible for forming and pouring concrete curbs that define roadways, parking lots, and landscaped areas—helping with drainage control, traffic guidance, and overall site structure.

    Through trusted relationships and careful coordination, we make sure this critical final touch is done right every time.

  • For the finishing touches of your project, A Grade Above coordinates the paving of your project with a sharp eye for detail and excellence.

    We work closely with the top paving subcontractors in the Upstate to ensure your asphalt surfaces are installed by experienced professionals.
