Start with a Solid, Level Foundation

Land grading is one of the most important steps in preparing any site for development, construction, or long-term use. At De Leon’s Ranch Services, we provide expert land grading in Blanco, TX and the surrounding Hill Country — ensuring your property is level, properly drained, and structurally ready.



We grade land for home sites, driveways, ranch infrastructure, drainage improvements, and general property leveling. Whether you need fine grading for a foundation pad or rough grading to shape the overall terrain, we bring precision, experience, and the right equipment to do it right the first time.

What Is Land Grading — and Why Does It Matter?

Land grading involves reshaping the surface of your land to meet specific needs. This could mean creating a level pad for a home or barn, sloping the land to direct water away from structures, or smoothing uneven terrain for safe use.


Poor grading leads to serious problems: standing water, soil erosion, cracked foundations, and even long-term drainage issues that impact the entire property. Done properly, grading creates the groundwork for safe building, healthy landscaping, and long-term durability.

At De Leon’s Ranch Services, we treat grading as more than just dirt work — it’s the foundation for every successful project that follows.

House Pad Grading

We create level, compacted pads for homes, mobile homes, barns, and outbuildings. Our pads are graded to exact elevations and checked for proper drainage, ensuring that your structure sits on a stable, well-drained base.

Rough and Finish Grading

From large-scale slope correction to finish grading around buildings, we shape your land to the right contour. We make sure the final result supports long-term use and is ready for whatever comes next.

Driveway and Road Grading

A smooth, well-graded driveway reduces wear on vehicles, prevents washouts, and improves access to your property. We grade driveways to shed water and hold gravel where it belongs — not in the ditch or the road.

Drainage Grading

Water management is critical in the Hill Country. We design grading solutions that move water away from buildings and reduce erosion. If you’re seeing pooling water or soft spots in your soil, we can help regrade problem areas to restore function.

Ranch and Pasture Grading

We assist ranch owners with grading for fence lines, livestock movement, tank sites, and general access improvements. Whether you're improving a pasture or preparing a new barn location, proper grading makes the land easier to use and maintain.

How We Approach Every Grading Job

Land grading is not a one-size-fits-all service. Every property is different — slope, soil type, water flow, and future use all affect how the grading needs to be done.


Here’s what we do to ensure high-quality results:


  • We start with a full walkthrough and visual inspection of the site

  • We identify elevation challenges, drainage paths, and soft spots

  • We plan cut-and-fill adjustments to minimize waste and maximize efficiency

  • We grade to the correct slope using professional-grade equipment

  • We compact as needed and leave the site smooth and ready for use

Whether we’re prepping a rural home site or grading a narrow easement, we make sure the land is shaped to support your plans — and to avoid problems later.
