One Team. One Contract.
Raw Land to Build-Ready.
Marks Clearing & Grading is North Carolina's full-service sitework partner. We partner with you from the first site assessment to completion, ensuring your project moves forward seamlessly and exceeds expectations.
Fewer Contracts. Fewer Surprises. One Accountable Team.
Most sitework projects stall in the seams, between the clearing crew and the grader, between the utility sub and the paver. We built Marks to close those seams. When you hire us, you hire one team that walks the land, plans the work, runs the equipment, and hands you back a build-ready site. That's what turnkey actually means.
One team managing every phase from clearing to closeout.
Four phases. One crew. A predictable, on-schedule path from raw land to the day a foundation can be poured.
Plan the Work
We walk the property with you, review the plans, flag the surprises (rock, water, easements) and build a realistic game plan and budget before a single tree comes down.
Prepare the Site
Clearing, grubbing, demolition and erosion control. We open the site responsibly, manage debris, and protect what stays, neighbors, waterways, and the schedule.
Build the Infrastructure
GPS-guided grading and excavation, retaining walls, and storm/utility infrastructure. High-production crews on modern iron, building the bones of your site.
Finish It Right
Stone base, concrete, asphalt and final grade. We hand off a clean, certified, build-ready site, punch list closed, no loose ends for the next contractor.
