Dozer work is the bulldozing side of a site job. The blade pushes cleared brush into piles and shaves high spots down into the low ones. Hollingsworth and Son Construction does dozer work and land grading around Fayetteville, Raeford and the surrounding counties. We take these jobs for homeowners and for the general contractors we work with.
Dozer work often comes right after land clearing or a teardown. Once the trees or the house are gone, the ground is torn up and uneven. We rough grade it close to level and spread fill dirt in the low spots. Where you need one, we also cut a pad for a building or a lane for access.
Tell us about the building, lot or land and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Land grading moves dirt from the high spots to the low spots on the same ground. Our land grading is rough grading: the blade shapes the ground close to level and sets the slope. When a lot is short on dirt, the dozer spreads fill and builds it up to the height you want.
Federal soil survey maps show Wagram and Blaney as the most common soils inside Fayetteville's city limits. Both start with 20 to 39 inches of sand or loamy sand. Under that sits a subsoil with more clay in it.
That layering matters when the blade cuts. Rain soaks into the sand fast, then slows down in the subsoil. A deep cut can leave that slower-draining subsoil on top.
On a clearing job, the dozer pushes the cleared trees and brush into piles. That opens up the ground so the grading can start. On a building lot, lot clearing comes first, and then the dozer levels the spot where the building will sit.
We also cut dirt lanes for access. A lane gives trucks and machines a way to the back of a lot or a tract. The blade cuts it in and levels it with the dirt already there.
After house demolition, holes and low spots remain where the foundation and footings came out. We backfill them with dirt and push the ground level. The lot comes out flat and open, ready to sell or to build on.
Start with the water. Weather records at the Fayetteville airport show about 45 inches of rain in an average year. Ask where that rain will run once the ground is graded, so it heads away from the house. Then flag the trees you want kept, and show us the septic tank and the drain field.
Ask about buried lines too. North Carolina's 811 law counts grading and backfilling as excavation. The law calls for notice to NC 811 at least three full working days before work starts. Private lines, like a power line out to a shed, need a private locating company.
In North Carolina, work that disturbs more than one acre usually needs an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan first. Around Fayetteville and Raeford, the state reviews that plan. Southern Pines and Whispering Pines run their own local programs. We point you to the right office.

Call or text (910) 527-1108. Tell us what needs doing and where the property is.
We come out and look at the building or the land. We check how the machines get in and where the debris goes.
You get the work and the price in writing. The job goes on the schedule when you say go.
Before a teardown, the permit and the asbestos inspection come first. Any digging or demolition also waits on an NC 811 notice. Then the machines go to work.
The debris gets loaded and hauled off. The site is left the way the written quote describes.
