When you partner with a trusted grading contractor, your entire project gains stability from the very first cut of the blade. As a leading grading company in Mississippi, J. E.
Shurden Construction delivers site grading services designed to strengthen your foundation, shape your land correctly, and eliminate drainage issues long before construction begins.
Selecting the appropriate grading contractor is crucial to the future performance of your structures, including how they stand, drain, and function. At J. E. Shurden Construction, grading is a critical component of every successful build and not simply an afterthought. A poor grading job creates shifting soil, water pooling, cracked foundations, and ultimately delays and costs you money. Our team functions to ensure your site slopes, compacts, and follows all drainage paths, just as your design intends.
Grade work is equal parts science, field experience, and equipment mastery, and we’ve invested heavily in all three. As a seasoned grading company in Mississippi, we combine GPS-enabled machinery, skilled operators, and a deep understanding of regional soil behavior to deliver results that stand the test of time.

We don’t just move dirt, we shape the foundation of your success.
Every site has a personality, and our job is to read it before we reshape it. That’s why our site grading services are fully customized based on terrain, load requirements, and drainage demands.
Whether you’re preparing a commercial build, an industrial site, or a large-scale development, our grading crews deliver precision that keeps your entire project moving forward.
Proper land grading determines how water behaves on your site, and that makes it one of the most critical steps in preventing erosion, flooding, or foundation damage. J. E. Shurden Construction performs land grading that ensures natural flow paths, correct elevations, and smooth transitions across your property.
From shaping slopes to stabilizing soft ground, we prepare your land to support everything that comes next.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers Guidelines, commercial grading executed properly does matter, especially in not going into the wet season with your critical commercial business or municipal development projects. Every inch matters when it comes to commercial grading: parking lots must drain properly, building pads must be level, and utility trenches must be precisely at the intended elevations.
Our team handles commercial grading for:
We build commercial-grade foundations from the ground up, literally.
Continuing with the standards expected with typical construction, no matter whether grading is done improperly, there will always be additional complications if the site is uneven. Timeline delays and structural integrity are not guaranteed. What our company provides are site leveling solutions that eliminate those risks and create an even and stable surface built to project specifications.
Using advanced equipment and real-time grade controls, we perform site leveling that supports foundations, concrete pours, road development, and large-scale industrial installations.
When the ground lies perfectly, everything else builds perfectly.
J. E. Shurden Construction brings years of regional experience to every grading project, making us the grading company in Mississippi that developers trust for no-surprise work.
