Rural lots in Putnam County often have a mix of mature timber, dense brush, and creek-side vegetation. Lot clearing means cutting and removing trees, grinding or pulling stumps, and clearing brush so the ground is fully accessible. That cleared surface is what makes accurate grading possible on rolling terrain.

Yes. The center and southwest portions of Putnam County have rolling hills rather than flat till plain. Grading on sloped ground requires cut-and-fill work to create a stable, level building pad. The fill side of that equation must be properly compacted or it will settle unevenly over time.

In-town lots near DePauw are smaller and often have mature trees and established grades. We can correct settled or uneven grades on these properties while working carefully around adjacent structures. Smaller equipment is used where access is tight.

Creek drainages along Walnut Creek and its tributaries are common on rural Putnam County parcels. These low areas are often wet and vegetated, and they affect where a building pad can be placed and how drainage must be directed. We assess drainage patterns before grading begins so water is routed away from the finished site.
