Building a new subdivision is a significant undertaking. Very few teams possess all the necessary skills to tackle a project of this scope from start to finish, so it’s best to take a collaborative approach. Our team at Tucker Land Development can provide the expertise you need to get the land ready for the construction stage.
In this article, we will provide an overview of how subdivision land development works so you know what to expect.
- Survey – The first step in subdivision land development is to survey the land. Surveyors will measure its topography, soil composition, and other such factors to determine what exactly needs to be done to get the land ready for construction. This information will also help everyone on the construction side of things know where to place the buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.
- Land Clearing – The next stage of subdivision land development is to clear the land of boulders, trees, and other obstacles (including most vegetation). Our team will cut down trees, shrubs, and other plant life, removing their stumps as well. We will make sure the ground is level and clear so you can start building on it as soon as possible.
- Grading & Drainage – A third key step in subdivision land development involves grading the land and installing drainage infrastructure. Our team will adjust the slope of the land to make sure water flows away from the buildings, rather than toward them. In addition, we’ll create a system of storm drains to collect rainwater and channel it into retention ponds.
