We begin with a thorough site assessment, using laser or GPS levels to capture spot elevations and identify low areas, hardscape constraints, and utility clearances. Soil conditions are reviewed to understand plasticity, moisture behavior, and bearing needs, and then we develop a grading plan with contours, slopes, and flow lines tailored to your site.
Execution includes stripping organics, regrading or importing fill as needed, moisture-conditioning soils, and compacting to project specifications for stability. We establish finish grades relative to the slab, create shallow swales or berms to guide runoff, integrate downspout extensions or splash blocks, and stabilize surfaces with topsoil, sod, seed, or erosion-control mats.
Quality assurance follows with elevation checks using lasers, verification of slope tolerances, and a final walkthrough. We provide maintenance guidance, such as keeping downspouts extended and vegetation healthy, and coordinate with other trades to ensure paving, landscaping, and drainage features work with the finished grade.
