We shape the dirt: lots that puddle, pads for slabs, driveway bases and drainage falls. Bobcat T740 with 60in grapple, $1,385/day with an operator. Free estimates.
If the brush is already gone and the yard still puddles after rain, you need grading, and a Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple does that work in tight Lantana lots where a bigger machine cannot turn. We cut the high spots, fill the low ones and leave a slope that sheds water away from the slab. The rate is $1,385 a day with an operator, and estimates are free.
Tell us the address and what the ground has to do once we leave: drain, sit level for a slab or paver base, or hold a driveway. Call (561) 779-3213.
Lantana is a small incorporated town between Lake Worth Beach and Manalapan, with Lake Osborne on its west side and the Intracoastal Waterway on its east. Lots near the water are low and flat, and a lot of older Lantana is small block-and-stucco homes on narrow parcels with little room to move a machine, which is why a compact track loader is the right tool.
The Town. Lantana has its own town hall at 500 Greynolds Circle and its own building and zoning staff, so grading questions start there rather than with the county. The drainage district. Much of the area drains through Lake Worth Drainage District canals and easements. A canal bank or easement is drainage infrastructure, not spare yard, and we do not regrade against one without the district and the Town weighing in. The community. Condominiums and homeowner associations in town often want their own approval for a visible change to a lot.
Grading is priced by the day, because the number of passes depends on how far off the ground starts, not on square footage. The T740 with 60in grapple and an operator is $1,385 per day. A yard touch-up or a driveway base is a short booking, a full pad takes more days at the same rate. How far off level the lot is, whether fill must be brought in, and how tight the access is all move the day count. Our cost guide covers the per-acre math for a larger job.

Yes. Bell Land Services grades residential and small commercial lots in Lantana with a Bobcat T740 and a 60in grapple, $1,385 a day with an operator. Call (561) 779-3213 and the free estimate works out how many days the ground needs.
Yes. A compact track loader cuts high spots and fills low ones, so a yard, a driveway base or a building pad ends up at the shape and slope the job needs. The grapple bucket does the pushing and shaping, and an operator runs the machine.
The rate is $1,385 per day with an operator, the same everywhere we work. A small yard or driveway-base job is often a short booking; a larger pad takes more days. The free estimate sets the number of days before anything is booked.
Lantana is an incorporated town with its own town hall, so start with the Town of Lantana building and zoning staff to confirm whether a given grading job needs a permit. We confirm it with the Town before booking rather than assuming, and a lot inside a community association may need its approval too.
Often, yes. Much of the Lantana area sits in the Lake Worth Drainage District, whose canals and easements carry the area's stormwater. Grading that changes how water leaves a lot, or that touches a canal bank or easement, is a question for the district and the Town before the first pass.
Lots here are low and close to the water table, so the slope has to be built on purpose or water sits after every rain. Getting the fall right on the first pass matters more than how much ground the machine covers.
