Level ground to build on. Level pads and proper drainage before you build.
Good site prep saves money later. Strip the topsoil, shape the pad, set the slope so water leaves the building, and your build starts on solid, predictable ground.
Paul walks the lot with you first. He looks at where the water goes now, where you want things to sit, and how to get there without moving more material than needed.
The Volvo does most pad and grading work because it moves more material per hour. The Kubota is used for finishing, tight edges and areas the big machine cannot reach.
We look at slope, soil, existing drainage and where the building, driveway and services are going.
Paul works out where to cut, where to fill and how to keep water moving away from the structure.
Topsoil is set aside, then the pad is cut and shaped. We check levels as the work goes.
We finish with a rough grade that drains, ready for foundations, gravel or landscaping.
Where the job calls for it, yes. We can arrange trucking for fill and place and shape it on site. The quote will outline what is needed so you can see it up front.
Some municipalities require approval for significant grading or changes to drainage. Check with yours. If you are unsure, we can help you sort it out on the quote.
We typically strip it first and stockpile it on site so it can be spread back later. That keeps good soil for lawns and gardens and cuts down on hauling.
Often grading and drainage can help, though it depends on the site. Paul will look at where the water comes from and tell you what is realistic before you commit.
Foundation, driveway, trench or a lot that needs clearing. Send a few details and Paul will get back to you with a price and a start date.
