Land Grading in Nocatee, FL | Florida’s Stump Masters

Why Nocatee Grading Has to Be Done Right the First Time

Nocatee is a planned community, which means every lot was originally graded to a drainage plan that ties into the community swales and retention. When you remove a tree, fill a low spot, or change the lawn, you can break that drainage path without realizing it. A Nocatee yard that suddenly ponds usually got there because someone graded by eye instead of by plan. We grade to the actual elevations — pitched away from the house, tied into the swale, finished flat enough that the HOA inspector signs off without a callback.

Our Nocatee grading work spans Del Webb Ponte Vedra, Twenty Mile, Greenleaf Village, Coastal Oaks, and the Crosswater Village builds. Most jobs are post-stump fill, drainage swale re-cut after settling, or lot-level finish for new construction. We bring fill dirt, we tamp in lifts so the surface doesn’t sink in a year, and we leave the lot ready for sod the same day. Nocatee grading is one of our most repeated St. Johns County jobs.

Nocatee Land Grading FAQs

Do you grade Nocatee new-build lots before sod?

Yes — that’s one of our most common Nocatee jobs. Final finish grade pitched per the builder’s plan, raked clean of debris, ready for the sod truck. We coordinate timing so sod goes down the same day or the morning after.

Is drainage swale work included?

Surface drainage and shallow swale work are included in standard residential grading. A new engineered swale or a re-cut that ties into the community drainage gets quoted per job — usually one site visit, one firm number.

Do you haul fill dirt to Nocatee?

Yes. We bring clean fill, place in lifts, and tamp. Critical on Nocatee post-stump jobs because uncompacted fill will sink and re-create the same low spot inside a year.

Can you work inside gated Nocatee neighborhoods?

Yes — we work gated communities all over St. Johns County. Send your gate code or pre-clear us at the guard house and we’re in. Crews and equipment fit standard Nocatee driveways and side gates.

What’s the minimum grading job in Nocatee?

Spot grades start at $250. Below that we usually bundle into a stump grinding or sod visit on the same trip.
