Grading Mason property usually means a homestead: a house, a pole building or two, a long drive off Highway 63 and a few acres of field or woods. We have been grading Mason building pads, drives and yards with our own equipment, and Mark Hazelquist leads the crew on every job, up and down the White River valley.

Pole sheds, machine sheds and shops go up on just about every Mason homestead sooner or later. Site grading gives each one a level, compacted pad with a little fall on every side, so the floor stays dry and the posts stay plumb.
When the spot is still wooded, we take the trees down in Mason, grind out the stumps, and move into site prep without changing crews.
A quarter-mile drive across a hayfield or through the popple takes a beating from the milk truck, the propane truck and every spring thaw. Driveway grading brings back the crown and the ditches so it sheds water instead of rutting.
New drives into raw land fall under our driveway construction service, built and graded from scratch.
The ground in the White River valley rolls, and a house set partway down a slope catches everything that runs off the field above it. Land grading cuts a diversion swale across the hill and turns that water around the buildings instead of through them.
That one swale is often the whole fix. Most of the drainage calls we get for grading Mason homesteads come down to it.
After a building goes up, the yard around it is usually a mess of ruts, spoil piles and bare clay. Yard grading smooths it out and sets a gentle fall away from the house.
We can start with a yard cleanup in Mason to haul off the debris, and finish by seeding the new grade.
Plenty of our Mason customers farm, and nobody wants a dozer in the way when the hay is ready. We plan grading Mason jobs for late spring or after second crop comes off, once the frost is out and the ground holds equipment.
If you looked up grading contractor near me from a farm south of Ashland, our equipment lot is about twenty minutes up the road.
Mark Hazelquist started Quality Tree Service in May 1988, and his operators have been with him more than 15 years. We bring our own machines, so grading Mason property does not wait on anyone else's schedule. Before any contractor starts, ask to see proof of insurance.

Mason sits between our Ashland lot and the lake country to the south. East of Ashland we handle field drive and pad grading in Sanborn, and further down the road we do hillside land grading in Mellen. Drummond, Grand View and Delta are regular stops too.
