Why we're called Sharp Iron

Razor-sharp. Dead on grade.

Our name is our standard. We run GPS grade control, so the machine knows exactly where the design surface is. Every cut, every pad and every pipe goes in where the plans say it goes.

That means less over-digging, less wasted material, fewer re-dos and no guessing about fall on a pipe run. You get the grade you paid for the first time.

  • GRADINGPads, ponds, swales and lots shaped right to the design surface.
  • TRENCHConsistent depth and fall from one end of the run to the other.
  • SUBGRADESubgrade and base cut to elevation before the paving crew shows up.

We used Sharp Iron Land Services to replace our septic tank and couldn’t be happier. Fair pricing, great communication, and they left everything looking better than expected. We bought Sharp Iron back to build a shop pad and they exceeded expectations again. Can’t recommend enough. Quick and professional
