Small Lots, Tight Access, Ground That Has to Drain

Greenacres is a built-out city of block homes, condos, villas and townhomes, and the grading work that comes with it is rarely a wide-open field. It is a back yard where water sits against the slab, a side lot that has to be leveled before a shed or an addition goes down, or a driveway that needs a firm, shaped base. The T740 is a compact track machine, so it gets into those spaces, and the grapple moves roots, rubble and spoil as it works.

Grading here is priced by the day, not by the acre, because the number of passes depends on how far off level the ground starts, not on its square footage. Tell us the address and what the ground has to do when we leave: drain, sit level, or carry a vehicle. You get a straight answer on a free walk of the site before any figure is written down.

Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple, the machine and operator that grade lots, drainage runs and driveway bases in Greenacres, Florida
The T740 with its 60-inch grapple: the machine that shapes the ground on our Greenacres grading jobs.
The Grading Jobs We Take in Greenacres
1 · Pad grading ahead of an addition, shed or pool
Cutting and leveling the footprint so the next trade starts on a flat, firm base, with the spoil moved off the work area.
2 · Drainage grading
Re-shaping a yard so rain moves toward the street or a swale instead of pooling against a foundation or crossing onto a neighbor's lot.
3 · Driveway and parking base
Shaping and compacting the base for a new or widened driveway, with the grade set so the surface sheds water.
4 · Clearing before grading
Overgrowth, old plantings and debris on older lots come out first, with the same crew and machine, so grading starts on bare ground.
Who Approves Grading in Greenacres

The City. Greenacres is an incorporated city with its own Development & Neighborhood Services / Building Division at City Hall, 5800 Melaleuca Lane, and its own ePermit portal. It is a separate process from the unincorporated Palm Beach County one that governs Loxahatchee and The Acreage. Grading that changes drainage, or pad work ahead of a building project, is a question for the City, and we confirm the requirement for your parcel before the machine is booked.

The association. Many Greenacres addresses sit inside an HOA or a condo, villa or townhome association, Covered Bridge and Palm Beach Villas among them. Board approval is a second sign-off beside the City permit. One does not clear the other.

The drainage district. Canals and easements are drainage infrastructure, not spare yard. In this part of the county they are generally run by the Lake Worth Drainage District, with the City covering its own streets and stormwater. If a grade would touch a canal bank, culvert or easement, that is raised with the right authority first.

Bobcat Grading in Greenacres — FAQ

How much does Bobcat grading cost in Greenacres?

Our Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple is $1,385 per day with an operator, the same rate everywhere we work, with no Greenacres surcharge. A small lot pad, a drainage fix or a driveway base is often a one-day job. How far off level the ground starts, whether fill has to be brought in and how tight the access is all move the day count, and the free site walk settles that before anything is written down.

Do I need a permit to grade my lot in Greenacres?

It depends on the work. Greenacres is an incorporated city with its own Development & Neighborhood Services / Building Division at City Hall, 5800 Melaleuca Lane, and its own ePermit portal, separate from the unincorporated Palm Beach County process. Grading that changes drainage, or building-pad work ahead of an addition, is a question for the City. We confirm the requirement for your parcel with the City before the machine is booked rather than guessing.

Does my HOA or condo board need to approve grading in Greenacres?

Often, yes. Much of Greenacres sits inside an HOA, condo, villa or townhome association, such as Covered Bridge and Palm Beach Villas, and board approval is a separate sign-off from the City permit. One does not clear the other, so we treat both as open questions from the first site walk.

Who handles canals and drainage easements around Greenacres?

Drainage is its own question from the building permit. Much of eastern Palm Beach County's canal system is run by independent drainage districts, and for Greenacres that is generally the Lake Worth Drainage District, with the City covering its own streets and stormwater. A culvert, canal bank or easement is drainage infrastructure, not spare yard. If grading would touch one, we raise it with the right authority before work starts.

What kinds of grading do you do on Greenacres lots?

The common calls are a leveled pad ahead of an addition, shed, pool or slab, drainage grading so water moves toward the street or a swale instead of pooling against a foundation, and driveway or parking base prep. The same T740 and grapple also handle small-lot clearing and debris moving before grading starts.

Is Greenacres inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region?

Greenacres sits a few miles inland, so it is generally outside Florida's Wind-Borne Debris Region, though the Florida Building Code still requires wind-resistant construction across Palm Beach County. Grading itself carries no wind-load requirement, but if a build follows it, we check your exact address against the current wind-speed map.

Are you licensed for grading work in Greenacres?

Bell Land Services operates under Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation, a Florida Certified General Contractor, CGC1528750, and an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2). A Florida state certification lets the owner contract in any county. The company has operated continuously since February 2009.
