Huntsville, United States - May 30, 2022 / J Whit Construction /

No matter what type of construction project you are planning, it will involve some degree of land grading.

Whether the project is a commercial building, a residence, an entire housing development, or a retail center, the structures' land requires hiring a professional grading company to ensure the project is finished correctly.

Expert grading work performed by a skilled professional is essential to the correct outcome for every project in various ways.

1. Drainage and Elevation Grading

Before any land development and building project can be started, two essential types of land grading must prepare the site for construction.

  1. First, elevation grading work must be done to shape the land properly, as the whole building plan requires.
  2. Next on the list, drainage grading must be performed to handle water flow and site drainage.

These two critical parts of the site preparation process divert water, prevent flooding, and prevent soil erosion, three major concerns that can spell disaster for any construction project when not properly handled.

2. Foundation Grading

Building a foundation involves much more than simply digging a hole for the concrete.

It requires a land grading company first to prepare the foundation site, so it is solid enough to support all the heavy equipment needed to build the foundation.

Grading services will first assess the soil type and consistency, then level and compact it, so it is solid and ready to be built on.

Proper grading at the building site is also essential to ensure the ground around the foundation can support it once the whole structure is built.

3. Grading For Paving

Walkways, driveways, roads, and parking lots all require different grading work.

Creating these surfaces starts with multiple types of grading, from leveling to compacting to smoothing for the final layer of concrete or pavement.

If grading services are poorly executed, paved surfaces may become uneven, sink, or break up once they are used. 

4. Landscape Grading 

The final step performed by a land grading company in every construction project is yet more grading, this time to finish the ground surface.

Landscape grading consists of filling in and smoothing the building site, putting in any additional necessary drainage, and finishing the surface with new topsoil.

After the last step of landscape grading, the site is left ready for actual landscapers to come in, lay down sod, and put in trees and other plantings.

Grading Work Requires A Professional

Grading work is a highly detailed, technical part of preparing every building site that must be executed appropriately.

Land grading mistakes made in these various steps in the construction process can lead to serious problems like flooding and drainage problems, ground erosion, weakening the foundation, deconstruction of paved surfaces, and much more.

Like all other steps in the construction process, we leave it to be trained and experienced professionals who will always give the desired outcome!
