Why Choose J. Coble Construction?
Our history stretches back more than fifty years in North Carolina, and that experience guides how we approach sitework in Greensboro and nearby communities. We can evaluate a property quickly, explain realistic options, and outline a plan that makes sense for the long-term use of the land. Homeowners call when poor drainage affects their yard or when uneven slopes interfere with a renovation. Builders look for consistency, updates that keep their crews informed, and workmanship that fits the requirements of the project engineer. We support each client with experience, an Unlimited General Contractor license, and modern tools such as laser-guided grading systems and GPS-capable machinery.

Commercial Grading for Local Developments
Greensboro’s commercial developments require grading that supports heavy traffic, reliable drainage paths, and structural loads for a wide variety of buildings. Our team prepares pads for offices, retail sites, industrial expansions, and redevelopment projects throughout the area. We work through each plan with attention to how stormwater will move, how elevations influence foot traffic, and how the final surface must tie into concrete or asphalt. Contractors often mention how the clarity of our communication keeps their schedules steady and reduces surprises as construction continues.
Residential Grading Services for Residential Properties
Many homeowners contact us after noticing water that lingers in the yard or driveways that wash out after heavy storms. We take time to understand how the property slopes, where runoff travels, and how these patterns affect the home. Adjusting the grade often resolves part of the issue, and additional improvements such as French drains, downspout piping, or a dry creek bed may complete the solution. We also prepare lots for new homes, shape areas for outdoor living spaces, and correct older grades that have settled over the years. Families often find that these changes make their property far more usable and visually balanced.
Our Capabilities
Excavation Contractor in Greensboro
Foundation Excavation for New Construction
Foundation work relies on accurate excavation that gives crews enough room to work safely while matching the engineer’s layout. Our approach remains steady and deliberate, with close attention to soil conditions that may influence the next phase. When the excavation is completed cleanly, the concrete team begins their work without extra corrections or delays.
Basement Excavation and Deep Cuts
Several Greensboro neighborhoods require deeper excavation for basements or additions. These jobs may involve compacted soil, tree roots, or limited access between homes. We adjust our equipment and approach to match the site so the dig-out feels smooth and controlled from start to finish, giving the builder a clean footprint for the structure above.
Pool Excavation for Backyard Projects
Pool installers contact us when they need reliable and consistent excavation support. A quality excavation creates a level base, stable walls, and enough room for the next trade to complete their installation without complications. We coordinate closely with pool companies to keep their timelines intact and the property prepared for the remaining work.
Specialty Excavation for Unique Property Needs
Properties vary widely in elevation and soil composition. Some homeowners need a pond, while others want space carved out for future landscaping or outdoor features. We listen to each goal and create a plan that suits the property’s shape rather than forcing a single method onto every job.
Utility Trenching and Related Excavation
Many projects depend on accurate trenching for water lines, electrical conduit, sewer connections, or drainage piping. We cut clean trenches at the required depths, support the utility installation, and complete the backfill with care so the ground settles properly. Builders value having trenches prepared with accuracy so other trades can move forward without disruption.

Local Site Prep Specialists
Thorough site preparation sets the tone for the rest of the project. Clearing, grading, compaction, drainage adjustments, and layout planning all contribute to a property that performs well long after construction ends. Builders across Guilford County trust us to manage these early steps, not only for the quality of the work but also for the communication that keeps their teams informed. A well-prepared site supports strong foundations, stable driveways, and surrounding landscapes that hold up during heavy rain. With Jason involved on every project, the process feels organized from day one, and each client gains a clear understanding of how the site will evolve.
