About us

Skidstar grading co. is a landscape construction company dedicated to serving our customers needs for grade work,drain work,landscaping and low voltage exterior lighting. The company was started in 1999 as a result of my building houses and developing land with my best friend,mentor and Father, Jay W. Swann. It doesn't matter what your constructing, It needs to have positive drainage to function as intended. That's how it started, with one newly purchased John Deere skidloader tractor and a commitment to trying to get the grade correct from the onset to insure that the families purchasing our new homes had the best foundations we could give them.

Pat and his crew were awesome, they were all work! Not only did they do the work required, but Pat took time to walk me through what they were doing, why they were doing it and how it will benefit the home for years to come. It was not an easy project, but they made it such an easy process for me and I learned a lot. AND he ended up being $150.00 below his initial bid which was welcome news. I will definitely use Skidstar again!
Description of Work: Graded the front and back yard of a home that had not been tended in years. They brought the grade up at the house to help with drainage and help avert future severe foundation issues.

Description of Work: I've only met with Skidstar but it was an excellent meeting and he gave me several options and was able to help me figure out how to work within my budget. I have not gotten to the point of having the work performed yet, but will use them when I am ready.

Patrick was easy to work with and communication was very good. Through face-to-face conversations, phone calls, emails, and texts, he answered numerous questions and made sure he understood exactly what we wanted. Likewise, his employees were very professional and courteous. I also had the impression that each person was experienced and knew their job well. They also cleaned up the job site after each day’s work and left the property spotless after the project was completed. We will definitely call Patrick again when we are ready for more improvements, and would definitely recommend Skidstar Grading and Landscape to our friends and family.
Description of Work: We had a problem with drainage and water pooling in our back yard, making it impossible for grass to grow in most areas. Patrick gave us options at different prices so we could choose the one to best meet our needs and stay within our budget. The finished project turned out beautifully. Three downspouts were connected to a buried drainage hose, which directs water away from the house and into the alley. The rear half of the yard was re-graded so it gradually slopes away from the house. A beautiful 430 square foot deck was built around two big live oak trees. Aboveground footings ensured that the roots would not be harmed. The construction is very solid and it looks exactly the way we envisioned it. A flagstone path surrounded by ferns and mondo grass leads from the deck to the side of the house. Old beds were cleaned out and new mulch was put down, and the yard was re-sodded with St. Augustine.
