Grading and Stormwater Management in Southern Maryland

Protect Your Property. Control Water. Prevent Damage.

Standing water, erosion, and poor drainage can lead to costly damage and ongoing frustration. McKenzie Contracting provides grading and stormwater solutions that control water flow, protect your land, and support long-term site stability.

You Shouldn’t Have to Keep Fixing the Same Issue

When Water Problems Keep Coming Back

Water problems often come from one root cause. The land is not directing water where it needs to go. Poor grading can lead to pooling, washouts, muddy areas, and erosion near your home, driveway, or yard. We evaluate how water moves across your property and build a plan that solves the problem at the source.

“I’ve been working with McKenzie for years now. They are very knowledgeable, reliable, and dependable. They can handle almost any job! We’ve used them for major erosion and road repair, grading, tree removal, and shore line projects. Top notch operation.”

“What I experienced was professionalism at its best from the start in speaking with Jimmy over the phone. He came out to my property we had a very decent conversation . I told him what I needed done and asked him could he get it done. He then explained the services that McKenzie Contracting provides. He then took me step by step through the process from walking the property and explaining what will get done, the time it will take to complete. He gave me an estimate that I was comfortable with.

McKenzie Contractors came out on the day we set. They arrived exactly the time we set and the crew that came out was a hard working group of young men that worked their hind parts off to complete the job within the time I was told it would take. Im very thankful to Jimmy and McKenzie Contractors for a magnificent job well done.”
