Why would I choose MAXTERRA instead of a landscaping company?
While landscapers may offer basic grading and light excavation, Maxterra specializes in precision excavation, drainage solutions, and site prep for shed pads, foundations, driveways, and hardscaping projects. Our team uses the right equipment and expertise to ensure your site is excavated correctly the first time—avoiding costly mistakes and future issues.
We serve homeowners in Chagrin Falls, Solon, Hudson, Bath, Brunswick and all surrounding areas in Cleveland, Akron and Canton. This is what we do, every day. We provide the specialized excavation services that landscapers simply aren’t equipped for.
How can I prevent drainage issues in my yard?
Poor drainage can lead to standing water, foundation damage, and erosion. Our yard drainage solutions, including French drains, swales, and grading services, ensure proper water flow away from your home. We serve homeowners in Chagrin Falls, Shaker Heights, and all Northern Ohio surrounding areas, providing expert excavation and drainage solutions.
Do I need excavation for a new patio, driveway, or retaining wall?
Yes! A properly excavated base is essential for long-lasting patios, driveways, and retaining walls. We provide hardscape excavation and site grading in Mayfield Village, Solon, Brecksville, and nearby areas to ensure a stable, compacted foundation for your concrete or pavers.
How long does site prep for a shed or building take?
A simple gravel pad and timber border is completed in a day. Concrete foundations can also usually be completed in a day or sometimes two. Variables for all site prep include the slope of the ground, the type of foundation, any obstructions or demolition needed.
As soon as you think you MIGHT need site prep, reach out to us because your neighbors are thinking the same thing and our schedules fill up fast and our Ohio weather can be fickle!
We will always come out for a free estimate and we can accomplish a lot through a phone call, texts, videos/photos and email. We will always let you know the lead time and the early bird gets the worm!
