Expert Grading services broken down by phases
Site Preparation
This first stage prepares the lot for home construction, starting with erosion control compliance and installation of a temporary construction drive, silt fence, and silt fence outlets. Organic soils are scraped from the house box to establish a clean, stable base for the foundation. Undeveloped lots may require clearing and lot grading to prep the lot for the foundation. Stage includes: lot scrape, lot clearing, initial site grading, temporary construction drive, silt fence, silt fence outlets, dirt export from organics scrape.
Backfill Foundation
With the foundation in place, the focus shifts to ensuring water flows away from the home. Dirt is backfilled against the foundation and appropriate fall is established away from the house and into swales. For crawl space foundations, the crawl is graded to drain and the foundation is waterproofed with emulsion, pipe, and stone in order to effectively drain. A rough grade is then performed across the lot, with swales fully defined and water flow patterns established. Stage includes: backfill, waterproof and crawl prep (emulsion, pipe, stone, PVC exit pipe), rough grade.
Rough Grade with Driveway/Sidewalk Cuts
As concrete work approaches, dirt is cut to the proper subgrade for driveways and sidewalks. The temporary drive is removed, and the area is prepared for framing and pouring. A rough grade is then performed across the lot to ensure the lots drains appropriately. Stage includes: temporary construction drive removal, cut/prep grade for driveway and sidewalks, rough grade, dirt/stone export.
Final Grade
Once concrete is installed, we match the final grade to the new surfaces and ensure the entire lot is graded appropriately. Silt fence is removed, and the site is left clean, drained, and ready for landscaping and sod installation. Stage includes: final grade, silt fence removal.
Hauling and Disposal
We provide hauling and disposal services for all types of construction debris, including dirt, concrete, and asphalt. Our team can ensure that your project site is kept clean and free of debris throughout the construction process.
