LICENSED & EXPERIENCED
Planning a new basement, a basement addition, or a walkout basement conversion in Jasper, GA? Stewart Brothers Grading has been digging foundations and basements across North Georgia’s rocky, hilly terrain for years and Pickens County’s mix of clay soil, granite outcroppings, and sloped lots makes basement excavation one of those jobs where local experience matters more than a big price tag.
We’re a licensed, family owned excavating contractor based right here in North Georgia. We know the soil around Jasper, Talking Rock, and the surrounding foothills because we’ve dug in it not because we read a soil report once.
Jasper sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and that terrain brings a few challenges homeowners and builders don’t always expect:
Many Pickens County lots have granite or shale just a few feet down, which affects how deep we can dig and what equipment the job needs.
A lot of basement builds in this area are walkout basements built into a hillside, which requires careful grading and drainage planning, not just digging a hole.
North Georgia red clay holds water and compacts differently than sandy soil, which affects footing depth, drainage, and how we shape the excavation walls.
Basements built into a slope need proper grading and water diversion from day one, or you’re looking at moisture problems for the life of the house.
We walk the lot, assess the slope, soil, and rock conditions, and figure out the right approach before any equipment moves.
We dig to the exact depth and dimensions your foundation plans call for, whether that’s a full basement, a walkout basement, or a partial basement addition.
We shape the surrounding grade to direct water away from the excavation and set up for proper footing drains, so the finished basement stays dry.
We leave the site graded and ready for your foundation crew or concrete contractor to move in.
