Mr. Terrance and Mr. Dwayne are the best people to work with! Fair prices, and good people. I never felt pressured or pressed to do or sign anything without asking questions. They both communicated with me frequently in reference to my project. I will absolutely be using A1 Grading for several projects in the near future. If you need some land prep completed, don't waste your time calling around. Just call A1 Grading!

Had about 0.15 acres of brush and saplings that had taken over from when our home builders never cleared. They came out and cleared through it all in about 3 hours and were able to work with us even with some issues of getting to the area to be cleared. Did a really good job at a great price and friendly the entire time.

A-1 Grading was great to work with. They showed up when they said they would and they did a great job.
I had them demo a house for me and dig out some stumps. I will be using these guys again soon. See the before and after pictures below.

Dwayne does an absolute great job. Awesome service, reasonable prices and done in a timly manner. We could not be happier with the service we have recieved from Dwayne and A1 Grading!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Dwayne was WONDERFUL to work with. We needed him to clear a portion of our woods for additional parking area. He was able to give us his personal thoughts which ended up with an overall better layout. Not only was he very easy to deal with, but the price was fair and he was very open in terms of how long the project would take. I would highly recommend using A-1 Grading for your project.

My wife and I need to have some trees cleared out and a second driveway put in on our property. We called A-1 grading and Mr. Dwayne stopped by the same day to talk to us and see what we wanted to do. He got us an estimate very quickly was very helpful answering questions for us. We got the project started not too long after talking with Mr. Dwayne. We couldn't be happier with the results and are excited for the extra room on our property. We highly recommend A-1 Grading. Very easy to work with, friendly, and honest.

A-1 Grading provided an exceptional service! Dwayne was very instrumental in understanding our requirements and implementing a working solution. His work ethics are outstanding. He's committed to excellence with total customer satisfaction. We would highly recommend him for your next project.

Dwayne did an AMAZING job! I have a pretty long driveway and wanted a larger parking pad added. He was very kind and professional throughout the entire process.... and I am one of those very picky people. When I got home from work, the driveway and parking pad were completely finished with the crush and run and the top layer of decorative gravel. It looks fantastic and seriously full on quality! I would be HAPPY to refer Dwayne and a-1 Grading to everyone! Thanks Dwayne!

Dwayne is a punctual, hard working, friendly, and skilled equipment operator. He was able to remove heavy brush and trees with stumps and fill in absolutely massive trenches and holes (as far as normal backyards go) on about a half acre of land in just about four hours by himself. His work has inspired real excitement for future possibilities for our yard as my wife and I grow our family. I hope we cross paths again and would gladly refer him to any of my friends.

Dwayne and his brother were very nice and professional. They did some awesome work. My yard looks a 100x better. Thank you so much A1 Grading. I would definitely rehire them again if needed and recommend them to anyone.

Dwayne at A-1 grading was great to work with. He was very professional and punctual. We had Dwayne level off a hill in our backyard and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend.

Dwayne knows his stuff! I'm VERY pleased with my newly added parking pad for my RV. He had to scrape/grade and add lots of fill to level out my sloping spot. Great price and an even Greater Guy! Very Personable and honest. You won't be disappointed when you call him! Big jobs or small jobs.... He'll do them all. Thanks D!

Dwayne came out today and graded my property perfectly. He took his time and did an outstanding job and was very detail oriented. He didn't leave until it looked perfect. You can clearly tell the difference when you hire a professional!! Don't waste your time on other quotes, A-1 will beat the competition every time!! Thank you A-1!!

After 2018's epic rainfall a wet spot appeared in my side yard, it stayed damp for several days after the rest of the yard dried up which seemed odd. I asked a friend of mine who is a builder and got connected with Dwayne Burrell at A-1 Grading. Dwayne was recommended by a building specialist who has known and worked with him for many years. Dwayne came by and in short order had diagnosed the problem. Apparently when our house was built the downspout from a corner gutter had been connected to the foundation drain. Dwayne's crew came out and installed a new pipe for the foundation drain and a separate pipe for the downspout. They ran them both to a nearby storm drain, now everything is set up correctly. The crew did a nice job of reseeding and neatening up after they were done. Throughout the process Dwayne was a pleasure to work with, it reminded me of why working with reputable small businesses is often far better than going through chains and franchises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dwayne to anyone.

A-1 Grading is A-1 in my book. Don't bother shopping around for a better, less expensive company cause you won't find one. I am happy with the job Dwayne has done for me. He is easy to reach, friendly and professional.
He was able to schedule me in on short notice and complete the project in a timely fashion. Thanks Dwayne!

Positive: Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Dwayne at A1 Grading did an awesome job in my backyard. I wanted to clear off some trees, remove trash and extend the yard and he was able to exceed my expectations. I really appreciated the fact he was able to complete the job so quickly. Can't wait to enjoy it this spring. Thanks again Dwayne.

Dwayne did an amazing job! His price was reasonable, he was on time, and did exactly what he said he was going to do! Would highly recommend! We look forward to you coming back in the near future for the final grade and driveway!

We have a 5 acre property that was pretty heavy with briers and brush but we needed a driveway put in to access the back of the property. Dwayne came in and within a half day, we had a new driveway that required new roadside concrete culverts. In addition, we needed another culvert to cross a drainage ditch and they did that with no problem too. A-1 Grading is an awesome company and they work until you are satisfied. They don't come in telling you what you need, but rather listens to what the customer wants. We'll definitely be calling them back for future projects:

Dwayne did a residential scrap of my back yard that was infested with weeds and cheap grass. He also spread excellent clean topsoil so that the yard could be sodded the next day. Dwayne's professionalism is top notch and the work was excellent.

Positive: Responsiveness

We had the best experience with A-1 Grading! The entire group was so helpful and knowledgeable. They had to clean up another contractor's mess and did an awesome job! Very professional, honest, fair pricing and thorough. We now have a wonderful cleared pasture and pond ready for our horses. A-1 Grading is definitely worth every penny. Thank you Dwayne!

I had a very positive experience with A-1 Grading. They were very professional, easy to deal with, fast and reasonably priced. Dwayne did grading/ landscaping in our backyard, and it looked great. I would highly recommend this company and they are veteran friendly.

My second time using Dwayne and his crew for grading work. Great experience both times, and at an affordable price!

We have had Dewayne at A-1 grading do two driveways for us in the last 5 years. He does an excellent job and is easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for any grading or driveway work.

Dwayne and his crew were professional, kind, and did amazing grading work in my backyard. Before A-1 came along I had a space that was not useable and Dwayne turned it into a lush, green and beautiful space. Aside from the grading work they also tied all my drainage lines underground and got the water away from my foundation. Highly recommend! Amazing experience!

I was frustrated trying to get a local grader to just come and look at the job my wife and I wanted done, my wife started searching her phone and the 1st one that came up was A-1 she called and Dwayne answered immediately he was up around Raleigh but said he would come down and look at the job, now this is unheard of right well Dwayne showed looked at the job gave us a quote and in two weeks was back to do the job. Dwayne is the owner and you couldn't ask for a more honest and trust worthy Professional in my dealings with trades. Job is outstanding, John Thompson

Dwayne and his team did a great job with regrading my front yard. Nice, polite, extremely easy to work with, I highly recommend A-1 Grading for any of your land/yard needs!

I reached out to A-1 Grading and spoke with Dwayne about demolishing some old farm shelters. He was extremely polite and attentive to all my questions. We proceeded with the job, and A-1 Grading did a phenomenal job with what I wanted, all at a great price. They came out when they said they would and cleaned up the areas in hours. I strongly recommend them for any demolition work you may need.

Highly recommended! Interviewed several different demolition companies before deciding on A-1. They did a great job. Professional, honest and down right good folk.
