The problem to avoid
Scope the cause and the finished result.
A grade has to relate to buildings, roads, outlets, neighboring ground, and the surface that will be installed next.
Site Grading services
Site Grading for the Finish the Property Needs
Rough grading, finish grading, property reshaping, drainage slopes, and preparation for the next phase of work.
GradeCraft's approach
Plan the connected parts.
GradeCraft works backward from the intended use to plan elevations, material placement, drainage, and the appropriate finish.
- Existing elevations and fixed property features
- The intended lawn, stone, drive, pad, or building use
- The type and condition of available material
Research-backed guidance
Good grading makes the property and the water work together.
EPA guidance describes land grading as reshaping planned elevations to create suitable topography and help control runoff, erosion, and sediment. Because an improper grade can move a problem elsewhere, soils, slopes, existing drainage, outlets, and the final surface should be evaluated together.
The right scope still depends on site conditions, utility requirements, drainage outlets, permits, and the intended finished use.
What a sound plan considers
- Relate new elevations to buildings, roads, septic areas, neighbors, and drainage outlets.
- Put topsoil, structural fill, aggregate, wet soil, and unsuitable material in the right parts of the section.
- Stabilize the finished surface for its intended use instead of leaving disturbed soil exposed.
