About Huisman Grading
Huisman Grading didn’t begin with a big shop or a long list of services. It started with equipment, long days of work, and a belief that accuracy matters. From the beginning, the focus was simple: do the job right the first time.
In construction, small mistakes don’t stay small. A slope that’s off can lead to water problems. A rushed backfill can become a future repair. Those early lessons shaped everything that followed.
Founded in 2021, Huisman Grading began by focusing on grading and foundation backfilling. As homes were built closer together, there was less room for error. Builders needed someone who would slow down where it counted, measure carefully, and shape land correctly. That demand for precision became the company’s foundation.
GROWTH THROUGH TRUST
After the first projects were finished, something important happened — clients came back.
Builders noticed that our jobs didn’t need fixes or callbacks. Homeowners saw clean sites and clear communication. Word spread the old-fashioned way: by people telling other people who they trusted.
Fewer callbacks meant fewer headaches, and that reliability created long-term relationships. Huisman Grading grew not by chasing volume, but by building our foundation - one project at a time.
HOW WE WORK
Huisman Grading works in an industry shaped by weather, soil, and timing. Rain can change plans. Winter can slow progress. That’s why communication is just as important as equipment.
Clients don’t just want work done — they want to know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and why changes occur.
We believe transparency builds trust.
Clear updates turn one-time jobs into long-term partnerships.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our values guide every job:
-
Accuracy and precision

Professional appearance and conduct
-
Integrity in every job
-
Efficient, organized job sites
-
Fewer callbacks through quality work
These aren’t slogans — they’re expectations we hold ourselves to every day.
MORE THAN GRADING
As clients’ needs grew, so did the services.
Landscaping installation became a natural next step — not just shaping the land, but helping people enjoy it. Mowing services followed, keeping properties clean and presentable.
Erosion control and snow removal filled in the seasons, protecting sites and keeping access open year-round.
Even as services expanded, the mindset never changed. Accuracy still comes first. Communication still matters. Professionalism is still expected — from clean equipment to polite crews to honest timelines.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
Today, Huisman Grading serves builders, homeowners, and property owners across Central Iowa. Some projects are small. Others are large.
No matter the size, the approach never changes:
Show up.
Do it right.
Communicate clearly.
That’s how Huisman Grading continues to grow — not by cutting corners, but by building trust one job at a time.
