Site Preparation and Finishing

7/22/2022

0 Comments

 
Proper site preparation is an important but often overlooked first step of new construction. Be sure that your new structure’s foundation is set on a strong foundation! ​
There is a lot of work to be done before the building can begin. We have the experience to be sure your project has a smooth start and stays strong for years to come.

First, out with the old.

We clear any existing structures with demolition and tree grubbing. We offer disposal of those items as well.

Next it is time to smooth the earth. This is different for every structure. Something giant like a pole building will require an expanse of level ground. ​

Your new home build may require some more finesse. In addition to building a basement, we move earth to accommodate walk-out basements or retaining walls.

​We plan ahead for the big build, making sure that all service and supply vehicles are able to access the project easily. 
All of these checklist items are completed with the future in mind. We think ahead to control erosion and drainage. We are sure to compact the earth so it can hold your new structure.

Are you ready to get started on your big build? Call us at Gravel Grading and Excavating to prepare your site for sturdy structures.
