For basic yard work, we usually charge by the square foot, ranging from $1.25 to $4.00 per square foot. For smaller or more complex tasks, we may charge an hourly rate, which typically includes the equipment operator and machinery, from $40 to $180 per hour.
Most grading projects in Duluth, GA, cost between $1,500 and $8,000 per job. This range accounts for various project sizes and complexities, from basic regrading to extensive site preparation.
The size of the area significantly impacts the cost. For example, grading a 1,600 square foot lawn could range from $2,000 to $6,400, based on per-square-foot pricing. Larger areas generally require more time, labor, and materials, increasing the overall cost.
A premium-tier grading job (typically $6,001–$8,000) involves extensive work for larger properties or complex projects. This could include significant earth moving, difficult terrain, detailed contouring, or comprehensive site preparation for new construction, requiring more specialized equipment and extended labor.
