What’s a grading bond?
A grading bond is required for many kinds of projects where you’ll be moving dirt and shaping the land. Even in private development, municipalities need assurances that your work will consider runoff, erosion, and your impacts on land and waterways around your project.
Why go through Summit Surety for a grading bond?
The requirements for grading bonds vary across municipalities, and you never know what you might unearth. Don’t delay meeting with the Summit Surety team for a project and bonding review.

Experts in Grading Bonds
Plenty of large companies promise to handle everything from commercial insurance to bonding. But without expert review, you might be left improperly bonded. Grading bonds, especially, don’t come up frequently at a lot of surety brokerages. Trust Summit Surety to navigate your local requirements and get you shovel-ready.
Don’t Overpay Over the Life of the Project
As different phases of subdivision development are completed, your bonding can typically be stepped down. We’ll get into your project timeline and secure your bonding accordingly. You won’t pay to be bonded any longer than you need to.
Maximize Your Cash Flow
Many municipalities allow you to post bank credit or cash to get the job site shovel-ready, but you need those funds to keep the project moving. Don’t tie up your capital. We’ll set you up with the best product for your financial profile, maximizing your bonding capacity and keeping your cash liquid.

Contractors Like You Choose Summit Surety for Grading Bonds
Ryan started out with my business when I needed my first construction bond. As a new small electrical contractor getting bonded was not an easy task because I didn’t have a lot of past history. In spite of this, Ryan stepped forward and helped me when other agencies didn’t want to take a chance on the unknown. He has been there for me and helped every step of the way ever since. He is very knowledgeable in his field and makes doing business with him easy & simple. His timely responses for further assistance along with his ability to provide the best cost has kept me coming back to him for bonding. I recommend Ryan to everyone I know both new and older more established businesses.
