Site Prep
We get a raw lot ready for a new house or a mobile home. The clearing, the rough grading, the pad and the septic system come as one job.

A mobile home set on low ground can hold water up under it. A mobile home pad raises the home site with fill dirt, built up and graded to drain. The ground falls away from the pad, so rain runs off before it can pool under the floor. Southern Grind Solutions builds mobile home pads for homeowners and landowners around Broxton and Coffee County.
On an overgrown spot, the job starts with land clearing on the home site. Then the pad goes up in packed fill, shaped so water runs off. When the whole lot needs work, the pad becomes part of site preparation for a new home.
Tell us about the new septic system, the land to clear or the dirt work and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Georgia's rules for manufactured homes say the home goes on a properly prepared stand. The site needs a grade that lets water drain away from that stand. Grass and other organic matter must come out where the footings or piers will go.
The federal installation standards from HUD say drainage must keep water from building up under the home. Both sets of rules say the same thing about slope. Drainage must slope at least one-half inch per foot away from the foundation for the first ten feet. Over those ten feet, that is a drop of at least five inches.
The federal standards also set a rule for the ground under the foundation. That ground must be firm, undisturbed soil or fill compacted to at least 90 percent of its maximum relative density. The stated aim is to help prevent settling or sagging.
We start by looking at where water comes onto the lot and where it can leave. The size of the home sets the size of the pad, and the lay of the land sets its height. Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging.
The grass and roots come off the pad area first. Fill dirt goes in and gets packed down as the pad builds up. We shape the top and the sides so rain runs off the pad and away from the home.
Some lots lack the room for the full slope. Where property lines or other conditions block it, the federal standards call for drains or swales instead. If the water needs a ditch or a culvert to leave the lot, our excavation work covers that too.
A pad is one part of getting a rural lot ready for a mobile home. Where no sewer line reaches the lot, the home also needs a septic system. We install a new septic tank and drain field as part of the same site job.
Georgia's septic rules set the order of work. A lot that will use septic needs the county construction permit before physical development begins. The county environmental health office issues it only after a site inspection of the soil and groundwater.
Broxton sits at the center of our service area, which reaches about 80 miles out. Your county may have its own rules for placing a mobile home. The county building and zoning office answers those questions, and we point you there.

Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging, so buried lines get marked first. Then the clearing, the septic dig, the dirt work or the teardown begins.
On a septic job, Georgia's rules keep the system uncovered until the county's final inspection and written approval. Then we backfill and rough grade, and every job ends with the site cleaned up.

We cut grown-up pastures and lots back down with a brush cutter. Overgrown fence lines get cut back too, and the cut grass stays where it falls.

We cut shooting lanes and access trails through brush and pines on hunting land. We also clear the ground for food plots, and the planting stays yours.
