Built Here. Still Here.
Speagle's Grading started in the Lincolnton area in 2005. What began as a local grading business has grown into a team that can handle many of the jobs needed to prepare land for construction.
The company has grown because customers kept trusting us with more of the work. Today, our crews handle everything from clearing and grading to septic, footers, drainage, and driveways.
Even as the business has grown, we have stayed close to where it started. We live and work in the same communities we serve, and we take pride in doing work we can stand behind.
“The equipment may change and the jobs may get bigger, but taking care of people and doing good work never changes.”

- Driveway access
- Long-term performance
When we clear or grade a lot, we plan for what comes next. Where will water go? Where will the driveway sit? Where will the house or building go?
Septic Experience You Can Count On
Many of our projects need septic work. Speagle's Grading holds North Carolina Level IV onsite wastewater certification, so we can install a wide range of systems the right way.
Related businesses also make septic tanks and concrete forms. That gives us more control over key parts of the job and keeps more of the site work connected from start to finish.
