Cornerstone Excavating Group LLC just completed regrading my backyard. I had a large, elevated mound running across it and close to the house making the yard essentially unusable. Cornerstone did a great job working with the limitations of the yard and created a usable space while ensuring I had proper runoff where I previously had water accumulating close to the foundation. Tim and his team were very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Cornerstone to anyone looking for an excellent excavating company.
These guys are excellent. Excellent pricing and top tier work. I contacted them about grading and pushing a debris piles. A couple days later, they completed the job. This literally was the easiest communication I've had with a company. Awesome, awesome, awesome! I will be using them again for sure. No question about it!

From the first call to the last load hauled off, here is how it goes.

We come out to see the ground, the access and where the water goes. The visit and the estimate are free.
We set how the equipment gets in, where the material goes and what order the work runs in. Utility locates go in through NC811 before we dig, and any permit stays in the owner or builder's name.
The machines come in and the job gets done in the order we planned. Weather moves earthwork, so we tell you when the schedule shifts.
Spoils, brush and demolition material leave on our dump trucks. We grade the ground back before the equipment comes off the site.
