Key Reasons Why Grading Is Important
Proper Drainage: Grading helps in creating a slope and contour on the land that facilitates proper water drainage.
Soil Stability: Grading helps in establishing a stable foundation for buildings, roads, and other structures. It involves removing excess soil, leveling the surface, and compacting the soil to create a solid base.
Aesthetics and Landscaping: Grading can significantly enhance the visual appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces. By shaping the land, grading allows for the creation of leveled areas for lawns, gardens, patios, and other landscape features.
Some of the Types of Grading Services We Offer
- Rough Grading
This type of grading involves initial land preparation, clearing vegetation, removing debris, and shaping the land to prepare it for further development. Rough grading is typically performed at the beginning stages of a project to create a level surface and establish basic contours.
- Fine Grading
Fine grading is the process of refining the land surface to achieve precise contours and smoothness. It involves removing any remaining unevenness, leveling the ground, and preparing it for landscaping, construction, or other purposes. Fine grading requires attention to detail and precision to create a finished surface that meets the desired specifications.
- Site Grading
Site grading involves shaping the land to accommodate specific project requirements, such as building construction, roadways, parking lots, or recreational areas. Our skilled operators will carefully analyze the site plans and specifications to determine the appropriate grading techniques needed to meet your project goals.
- Landscaping Grading
If you’re planning a landscaping project, our grading services can help create the ideal foundation for your outdoor space. We’ll work closely with you to achieve the desired slopes, contours, and levels for your landscape design. Whether you’re installing gardens, lawns, or hardscape elements, our grading expertise will ensure a seamless integration of your landscaping features.

In a typical residential construction project, the sitework contractor shows up after the surveying crew determines the house and lot boundaries. The contractor removes the soil to the depth required for the new foundation and ensures that the soil is firm through compaction tests and compaction with equipment, if necessary. The dig requirements are precise, so the excavation contractor must be able to use a level and transit to match the grade posted by the surveying crew. After the foundation contractor pours the footers and stem wall, the excavation contractor backfills around the new foundation.
