Landscaping & Hardscape Construction in Concord & Charlotte, NC
Transforming Your Property with Grading-First Landscaping Solutions
At Peterson Grading & Excavation, we believe that a beautiful landscape is only as good as the ground it sits on. Most landscaping “fails” happen because of poor drainage or improper soil preparation. With over 50 years of experience in land grading, we bring a level of structural integrity to landscaping that typical gardeners can’t match.
Whether you are looking to install a new paver patio, need a structural retaining wall, or want to overhaul your outdoor living space, we provide turnkey solutions that combine aesthetic beauty with professional-grade engineering.

The Peterson Difference: Why Grade Before You Landscape?
“We find the real cause of your problem, not just treat the symptoms.”
When you hire Peterson Grading for your landscaping, you are hiring a licensed and insured contractor who understands soil compaction, water flow, and structural load.
- Avoid Sinking Patios: We ensure the sub-base is compacted and graded for drainage.
- Long-Lasting Walls: Our retaining walls are built with proper backfill and drainage pipes to prevent “leaning” over time.
- Mud-Free Results: We reshape the land to carry water away from your home and outdoor living areas.
