Land grading is one of the most important and specialized parts of the construction process. Without proper grading and ground preparation, the results of any construction project can vary widely, and structure problems, improper drainage, and other issues may result.
Whether you are building a small restaurant, retail store, or high-rise office building, making proper land grading a priority is essential. During this process, we will sculpt the construction site and ensure it is properly prepared for the needs of your project. The main goals of land grading are to:
- Improve the aesthetics of the building site
- Ensure proper drainage
- Establish allowable height and depth of swales, fills, and cuts
- Protect the environment with consideration for erosion and stormwater runoff
There are also several different types of land grading, and which one your project requires depends on your individual construction site and building plans. For example, architectural land grading involves changing the contours of a specific piece of land to accommodate proper drainage, remove undesirable changes in elevation, and prepare for a solid foundation.
Comparatively, for roads and earthworks projects, finished land grading refers to finishing off the final contour of the project and shaping the desired area. This process involves removing large chunks of soil, rocks, and other forms of debris.
