Land Clearing & Grading in Fargo, ND
Clear it, shape it, grade it so water runs where it should — turning a rough lot into ground you can actually use.
What we handle
An overgrown, uneven or poorly draining lot holds back everything you want to do with it. OARA clears brush, handles dirt work, and grades sites across the Fargo–Moorhead region so your property is clean, usable and shedding water in the right direction.
Grading is where our excavation precision really shows. We don't just push dirt around — we shape the ground so water moves away from structures and low spots, setting up your lawn, build site or project for success instead of standing water.

Land Clearing & Grading FAQs
What's the difference between grading and dirt work?
Dirt work is moving and shaping soil; grading is fine-tuning the final surface so it's level and drains correctly. Most projects need both, and we handle them together.
Can you fix my yard's drainage with grading?
Often, yes. Many drainage problems come down to grade that slopes the wrong way. We can reshape the surface to move water away from your home — and pair it with drain tile if the situation calls for it.
Do you remove the brush and debris you clear?
Yes, haul-off is included. We leave the site clean, not covered in piles.
I'm prepping a lot to build on — can you help?
Definitely. Clearing and grading a build site is a core part of what we do, and we can carry it through excavation and site prep too.
