Grading shapes the land to make it level and control water flow. We grade construction sites, driveways, parking areas, and yards to keep water away from buildings. Proper grading helps prevent flooding, erosion, and damage to foundations.
If you’re building a new structure, addition, or garage, we dig strong and accurate foundations. Our team follows building codes, digs to the correct depth, and compacts the soil to give your project a solid base.
A strong driveway begins with the right preparation. We handle everything from removing old pavement to digging the correct depth, shaping the slope for proper drainage, expanding areas for turnarounds or parking, and compacting the ground to prevent future settling. Whether you choose concrete, asphalt, or pavers, a solid, well-prepared base ensures your driveway stays strong and durable for years to come.
We dig trenches for utility lines, septic systems, and electrical cables. Our equipment handles rocky soil, tight spaces, and complex layouts. We make clean, straight trenches and fill them back in properly once the lines are installed.
Retaining walls stand strong and last longer when built on a solid foundation. We carefully prepare the site by digging the base to the right depth, leveling the ground, creating stepped areas for tiered walls, providing space for drainage behind the wall, and replacing weak soil with compacted material. Proper excavation ensures your wall stays secure and durable for years.

LHC quickly provided a detailed estimate which was competitive with other contractors. Moreover, Lee made several recommendations which significantly improved the overall design. LHC scheduled the work in a timely fashion. Alexis is a very effective communicator and kept us apprised about all ongoing activities. In summary, we are very satisfied with LHC’s professional workmanship and the finished project.
We had a great experience working with LHC Services on our deck and retaining wall project. They were quick, professional, and communicative throughout the entire process. The workmanship is excellent, and they focused on exactly what we needed without trying to upsell or expand the scope beyond our goals. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with care. We’ll absolutely be using their services again in the future!
We used LHC to replace some water damaged flooring on a screen porch along with redoing the entire porch with new screening and new posts. The work was done in a timely and efficient manner. We were very pleased with everyone that was working with us. If something is not right, they will work with you until it is right. Would recommend them if you need some remodeling done on your porch/ decks.
I recently had a screen porch and patio built by LHC Services, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lee, the owner, was very approachable and took the time to discuss my vision for the project. But I have to give a special shout-out to Alexis, the project manager. She was truly wonderful throughout the process. What impressed me most was her communication. While I was out of the country, she made it a point to send me updates and pictures of the progress. It made me feel really connected to the project, even from afar. The entire team was professional and dedicated, and they paid attention to every little detail. The quality of the work is fantastic and their price point for the project was much less than the competitors. The porch has become my favorite room in the house and I use it every day. I highly recommend LHC Services if you are thinking about any home improvement.

They are so nice and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure everything was fixed right and looks great. So happy with everything they did for me and I will definitely use them again for all of my repairs needed with my house and will recommend them to friends and family. Thank you so much! 🙂
The only thing I can say is these guys are great. It took them 2 days to complete the job and it is perfection. Everybody in their whole organization is great to work with. I'm going to definitely use them for more projects around the house.
LHC Services did a great job replacing our existing deck with a new screened porch. Lee and Alexis communicated with us effectively and work crews were punctual and were a pleasure to deal with. Time frame for completing this job was met and finished in about 30 days. All in all, this was a very good experience John and Patti Pacer Midlothian, VA
We needed to replace our upstairs screened in porch after getting some water damage. Among the multiple contractors we looked at, LHC Services provided the fastest timeline and among the most competitive pricing. I really appreciate how communicative Lee and his team were throughout the entire project. We live in a fairly crowded part of the city and they were also very respectful and considerate with our neighbors. I’ll be going back to LHC services as my first choice for any and all work on my home in the future.
