Pond Construction
Gradeworks designs and builds functional ponds and lakes with proper site analysis, water source determination, and size optimization. Our systematic approach ensures durable, ecosystem-friendly installations that meet recreational or landscaping needs while maintaining water quality and natural habitats.
Erosion Control
We implement permanent and temporary erosion solutions using silt fencing, hydroseeding, and water diversion techniques. Our methods protect properties from weather-related damage while maintaining terrain integrity through strategic ground stabilization and vegetation management.
Hydroseeding
Our hydroseeding service applies premium seed blends tailored to site conditions like sun exposure and slope. Using specialized equipment, we deliver erosion-resistant, aesthetically pleasing grass coverage for residential lawns and commercial properties with 48-hour service availability.
Drainage Systems
We design and install customized drainage solutions including French drains, swales, and retention basins. Our systems redirect excess water from structures using site-specific grading and catch basin installations to prevent property damage from flooding or runoff.

Report
It should be called Weedworks, inc. I had a 3/4 acre yard finished with hydroseed. I was super excited as Matt seemed very helpful. The yard was sprayed and I followed all directions for watering and fertilizing. The end result was patchy grass filled with weeds. They came back and randomly sprayed areas as a 'touch up' which made no significant difference in final product. When I kill the weeds in the fall all I will have left is dirt that looks like it has bad hair plugs and will have to pay to have it refinished. The response from the company was that it was mother natures fault.

Matt and the team at Gradeworks were nothing less than phenomenal! We were in a pinch with our new field equipment delivery delayed by a whole week. With the start of our baseball season in jeopardy, I called Gradeworks given the reputation and reviews, shared the situation and Matt squeezed in 2 days of work on our fields. I have never in 6 years seen our baseball fields look as good as they did after Gradeworks was there. We believe the job Gradeworks did for us would have cost us a fortune with any other company, but given we are a volunteer non-profit, Matt did all he could to keep our costs

Just had Gradeworks spray my yard for hydro-seed. I was worried it was a bit patchy after a month as we go into the cold season. Just in case Matt offered to touch it up. After dealing with bad contractors as we built our home it was nice to have one do something extra. Thanks!
