Start your building project on solid, level ground.
Rushing or skipping site prep can cause issues that show up long after the building is complete. Soft spots, poor drainage, and uneven ground can lead to cracking floors, doors that don’t operate correctly, or water flowing toward the structure. Fixing those problems later is much harder than starting with a properly prepared pad.
Good site prep reduces these risks by creating a level, stable, well-drained base before any materials are set or walls go up.
We start by reviewing your building layout, desired pad elevation, and how water currently moves across the site. After clearing as needed, we grade the area, add and compact suitable material, and fine-tune the pad surface so it’s ready for the next contractor.
Our aim is to deliver a pad that’s ready for concrete or construction so your project can move forward smoothly.
Cournaya’s Land Enhancement provides services across much of Michigan’s Thumb and surrounding areas. We regularly work throughout Tuscola, Sanilac, Lapeer, and St. Clair counties and in many of the communities in and around those counties.
We stand behind the work we do. Our guarantee is simple: we will show up when we say we will, do the work we agreed to, and walk the job with you before we leave. If something reasonable needs to be addressed related to the work we just completed, we will talk it through and make a plan to make it right.
Outdoor work is always at the mercy of weather and existing site conditions, but we do not disappear when the equipment leaves. If you have concerns about the workmanship on a recent project, contact us. We will review the site, explain what we are seeing, and discuss any adjustments that may be appropriate based on the original scope of work.
If you’re planning a pole barn, outbuilding, or similar structure, a properly prepared pad is one of the smartest investments you can make. Contact Cournaya’s Land Enhancement, and we’ll look at your site, coordinate with your builder if needed, and put together a plan to get your building pad ready.
Every job starts with a conversation. You tell us what is going wrong, how you use the property, and what you would like to change. We ask questions, look at any photos you have, and when needed schedule a visit so we can see the ground in person.
On site, we walk the area with you, point out problem spots, and talk through options. We explain what we recommend, why we recommend it, and how it will be done so you understand the plan before any equipment moves.
On delivery day, we bring the material with trucks sized for your property and access. We place piles where you can easily reach them with equipment or wheelbarrows, or where we will be grading if we are handling the spreading.
After delivery, we are available to answer questions about how to spread, compact, or maintain the material. If you decide you would like help with grading or additional work after seeing it on site, we can talk about next steps and schedule follow-up services.
Yes. We can coordinate with your builder or concrete contractor so the pad meets their requirements and is ready when they need it. Sharing basic drawings or measurements helps us match their expectations and keep the project moving without delays.
In many situations, we can raise or lower the pad by bringing in or removing material, within reasonable limits. When we review your site, we’ll talk about your target finished floor height and explain what it will take to get there based on existing grades and soil conditions.
Building pads are typically constructed with compactable stone or suitable fill that creates a stable, well-drained base. We avoid soils and materials that hold too much moisture or don’t compact properly, and we’ll recommend a material that fits your project and local conditions.
Cournaya’s Land Enhancement is a family-run company that treats every property like our own. We focus on honest recommendations, practical solutions, and work that is built to handle real-world use, not just look good for a day. When you call us, you talk directly with the people who will be on your property, running the equipment and standing behind the results.
Our team is used to working on driveways, yards, fields, and rural properties across the area. We understand soft ground, standing water, and washed-out drives because we deal with them every season. That experience shows up in the way we plan each job and the small details that help your project hold up over time.
