Land Grading in Green Cove Springs, FL | Florida’s Stump Masters
Clay County acreage grading — rough grading, lot clearing prep, and drainage tie-ins.
Green Cove Springs runs from in-town residential to multi-acre rural Clay County parcels. Grading here covers everything from a single post-stump fill to roughing in a 5-acre lot before a build. Florida’s Stump Masters grades Green Cove Springs at both ends of that range — same crew, same equipment, same call.

Why Green Cove Springs Grading Spans Two Worlds
Green Cove Springs is split. The historic downtown and St. Johns River neighborhoods are tight residential lots that grade like any other Clay County subdivision. Then you cross 17 or head west toward Penney Farms and you’re in 1-acre, 5-acre, 10-acre rural parcels — and the grading job changes completely. We grade both. The in-town work is post-stump fill, side-yard drainage, finish grading for sod. The rural Green Cove Springs work is rough grading, lot clearing prep, drainage tie-ins to ditches, and pad prep for new builds and outbuildings.
Clay County drains differently than the coastal counties — less water table issue, more “we cleared the trees and now the lot is full of stumps and humps.” Most of our Green Cove Springs grading work follows a clearing or stump grinding job: trees down, stumps out, now somebody has to make the lot a usable shape. We bring tracked equipment for the bigger acreage parcels, smaller machines for the in-town lots, and we tamp fill in lifts so it stays put.
What We Grade in Green Cove Springs
- Acreage rough grading. Clearing leftovers, stump fill, surface leveling on 1- to 10-acre Clay County parcels.
- Lot clearing prep and post-clear cleanup. After the trees come down — pull humps, fill stump holes, surface clean.
- Drainage tie-ins. Cutting swales that move water to existing roadside ditches or rear lot drainage.
- Pad prep for builds, barns, sheds. Level, compacted, ready for slab or pier.
- Post-stump fill and finish. In-town residential — clean topsoil, tamped, blended.
- Driveway and access road grading. Crown the surface, pitch to drain, ready for shell or limerock.

Green Cove Springs Land Grading FAQs
Do you grade acreage parcels in Green Cove Springs?
Yes — rural Clay County acreage is most of our Green Cove Springs grading work. We bring tracked equipment for parcels over an acre and price per acre for rough work.
Is drainage included in the grading price?
Surface drainage and simple swales are included in standard residential grading. New drainage tie-ins, ditch connections, or french drains are quoted per job.
Do you haul fill dirt to Green Cove Springs?
Yes. We deliver clean fill to in-town and acreage jobs both. On larger Clay County parcels we can also work with on-site fill if you’ve got a high spot we can pull from.
Can you grade after a clearing or stump job?
That’s most of our Green Cove Springs work — clearing or stump grinding, then grade and finish. Bundling on the same visit saves a mobilization charge and finishes the lot in one trip.
What’s the minimum grading job in Green Cove Springs?
Spot grades start at $250. Smaller fixes bundle into a stump grinding visit. Acreage work usually starts around $1,500 for the first acre and scales from there.
