What Customers Say
Reviews
We take pride in every job we do. Here's what our customers have to say about working with Cunningham Grading.
"We can't say enough good things about Cunningham Grading! They're very reasonable with their pricing, and they actually keep their word and do what they say, and in the time frame they give you. We have been dealing with a nightmare at our property and Shayne gave us some recommendations and solutions to address some of our issues. Shayne and Austin both took the time to explain everything in great detail to us. Austin was our forestry mulcher, and these two guys stayed in constant communication with us throughout the entire project. Highly recommend!"

"Shayne and his crew did an outstanding job clearing and grading our lot in Powell. They showed up on time, worked hard all day, and left the site cleaner than we expected. The price was fair and exactly what was quoted. Will definitely be calling them again when we start the next phase of our build."

"We hired Cunningham Grading to put in a new gravel driveway and do some yard grading around our home. Shayne was professional from the first phone call to the last load of gravel. The driveway looks great and drains perfectly. Very happy with the work and the price. Highly recommend to anyone in the Knoxville area."

"Used Cunningham Grading for a foundation dig on our new shop build. They were on site within a few days of calling, got the job done fast, and the dimensions were spot on. Shayne clearly knows what he's doing. Straightforward, honest, and hard-working. Exactly the kind of contractor you want on your property."

"I called several companies for quotes on clearing some overgrown land on our property. Cunningham Grading was the most reasonable by far, and Shayne actually came out to look at the job before giving a number — which I really appreciated. The work was done quickly and professionally. Our land looks completely transformed. 5 stars without hesitation."
