Home / Grading
Grading sets the foundation for everything that follows. We handle rough and final grades, pad prep, driveway cuts/builds, and drainage swales so water moves away from structures and surfaces perform as intended.
Answers to the most common questions about timelines, licensing, and permits.
Clear access, remove obstacles, and flag property corners/elevation benchmarks if available. Share any plans or target elevations.
For finished landscapes, topsoil is typically added after final grade and compaction. Depth depends on planting/sod requirements.
We sequence grading around utilities, concrete, and landscape schedules. Pad/drive base is compacted to spec so next trades can proceed.
We monitor weather and may pause to avoid rutting or compaction loss. If a storm reshapes the site, we’ll rework to restore grade and density.
Yes—compaction is included; formal density testing can be arranged when specified (e.g., 95% Standard Proctor or per plan).
