Clifford Construction provides professional grading services throughout Kannapolis, Concord, Mooresville, and Salisbury, with coverage extending across Cabarrus, Rowan, Iredell, and Mecklenburg counties. We work on residential lots in established Kannapolis neighborhoods, new construction sites throughout Concord, lakefront properties near Mooresville, and rural acreage around Salisbury.

Our team understands the grading challenges unique to this region—from managing Carolina red clay that compacts differently than other soils, to working with sloped wooded lots common in Cabarrus County, to addressing drainage concerns in areas with high water tables. We've graded countless properties across these communities and know how to achieve lasting results that meet local building codes and engineering requirements.

Whether you're preparing a homesite on rural land in eastern Rowan County, leveling a yard in downtown Kannapolis, or grading a commercial development in Concord, we bring the right equipment and local expertise to your project. We also serve surrounding towns including Harrisburg, Mount Pleasant, China Grove, Landis, and communities throughout the I-85 corridor between Charlotte and Salisbury.
