Mallard's View Land Management provides professional dirt work & grading services in Lakeland, Tennessee. Our experienced crew uses commercial-grade equipment to deliver exceptional results for residential and commercial property owners throughout the Lakeland area.
Our dirt work and grading services handle everything from rough grading for new construction to finish grading for landscaping, drainage correction, and driveway construction. We operate excavators, dozers, and our ASV RT-120 compact track loaders to move earth efficiently while minimizing damage to surrounding areas.
DeSoto County sits in the Mississippi loess bluff region where soil composition varies significantly — from heavy Yazoo clay in low-lying areas to sandy loam on ridges and loess (wind-deposited silt) along the bluffs. Each soil type behaves differently under compaction and drainage. Our operators understand these local conditions and adjust grading slopes and compaction methods accordingly. Yazoo clay expands and contracts with moisture, making proper drainage critical for foundations and driveways. We grade to a minimum 2% slope away from structures and install French drains or swales where needed.
Whether you need a building pad graded for a new home, a driveway regraded and graveled, a drainage problem solved, or an entire commercial site prepared, we have the equipment and local experience to get it done right the first time. We coordinate directly with your builder, engineer, or general contractor to ensure all earthwork meets specifications before the next phase of your project begins.
