RGAS

My grading process. One man. One general machine. No fancy measuring tools.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be in a mini-ex with a tilt bucket and a 2D grading system, but that’s not in the cards right now, so it’s a laser, pole, can of paint, and the good ole’ backhoe with the incredibly frustrating mechanical controls 😭

I was still very enthusiastic at this point… give it two hours. 😑

Our business named kinda sucked.

"RGAS - Residential Grading and Services." Whoever came up with it must've been short-sighted 😆

First, why limit yourself to residential projects?

Second, what does "and services" even mean? It's incredibly vague while "grading" is so specific. Are the services specific to grading? I'd think so!

And, RGAS has grown to become more than just a grading and lawn care provider. So, I've been working on rebranding to something that better reflects the services I currently and hope to provide, and my designer is coming through for us!

So, basically, we play in the dirt... and play with things that grow in the dirt, or sit on the dirt...

✅ Excavation, such as grading, gravel driveways, swales, seeding, landscape beds, digging a big ole' hole for whatever reason, stump removal, etc.
✅ Landscaping, such as lawn care, seeding, Spring and Fall maintenance, yard drainage, bed maintenance, storm cleanup, etc.

Additionally, by Spring of 2026, we'll be adding arborist services, such as tree trimming and felling, as well as rock and block wall installation!

Thank you for your patronage and I hope to continue to serve not just my customers but the industries.

Starting this business has fostered a huge respect for blue collar workers, and I hope to continue showing that by recording the detail and work required to sdo things right and to do the things most people don't want to do.
