Every grading plan, utility installation, and cleared site affects the work that comes next. That's why we approach every project with careful planning, experienced execution, and a commitment to leaving the site ready for the next team.
Sitework isn't just the first phase of construction. It's the foundation for everything that follows.
We turn complex sitework into one less thing for our clients to manage.
Before Grounds Control was founded, our team had already spent years working in civil construction and site development throughout North Alabama. That experience shaped the kind of company we wanted to build.
From the beginning, the goal was straightforward: provide dependable sitework, communicate openly with clients, and take pride in doing the job right. Those principles helped us build strong relationships with general contractors, developers, businesses, and municipalities, and they continue to guide every project we take on today.
As we've grown, our capabilities have expanded, but our approach hasn't changed. We still believe that successful projects begin with careful preparation, experienced crews, and a commitment to following through on every job.
Grounds Control was built on experience long before it became a business.
We worked together 2024 – 2025 on Stadium Commons Project in Huntsville, AL. Stadium Commons was a challenging project with a substantial amount of sitework and utilities. Frank Tortorigi was valuable in making sure all commitments were met by Grounds Control.
Grounds Control is great to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
