Our Grading and Leveling Process
We begin each project with an assessment. Once we know more about the goals you want to achieve and take measurements, we move forward. Our process includes:
Accurate Measurements
We use a laser level to measure the elevation of various points on the site. Accurate measurements help us determine where the ground needs to be raised or lowered to create a level surface.
Soil Manipulation
In some cases, we may need to add or remove material to achieve the desired soil level. We may excavate soil from higher areas, or add fill material to lower spots.
Cut and Fill
As we shape the land, creating contours and slopes, we extract soil from higher areas and use it to fill in lower areas. This process is called "cut and fill."
Create Drainage
Slopes and swales direct water out of low-lying areas and away from buildings, reducing water accumulation that could cause serious damage in the future.
Add Visual Interest
We can improve the appearance of your property by terracing the land or adding berms and slopes that create opportunities for gardening and decorating.
Compacting
After we finish grading and leveling, we compact the soil. This stabilizes the terrain and prevents settling over time, increasing soil density for good drainage and a stable surface for building.
Reasons to Schedule Land Grading Services
Grading and leveling manipulate the land to create level ground or to contour the surface for proper drainage and erosion control. There are many reasons to schedule service:
Construction Preparation
Quality construction is built on level ground. Whether you intend to build a home or smaller features like retaining walls and garden beds, grading provides a stable area for construction.
Maximize Usable Space
When your property has limited space, slopes and hills can severely limit how you use the land. Grading creates a flat surface, giving you more usable space for construction, planting, or enjoying time outside.
Better Drainage
Without proper drainage, excess water could lead to erosion and could even damage the foundation of nearby structures. Grading helps water flow to a safe place, avoiding costly problems.
What Is Leveling vs. Grading?
The primary goal of leveling is to create a uniform, flat surface, often to prepare a site for construction. Grading, on the other hand, involves shaping the land’s surface to create specific slopes, contours, or drainage patterns. While some properties benefit from one service, you can use both leveling and grading to create the perfect space.
Small lot leveling and grading helps you get more out of your property. Utilizing every part of your small lot helps you make the most of your investment. Leveling creates a flat, even surface to build. Grading helps reduce erosion by encouraging proper water drainage.
