    Fine Grading Process

    1.

    Site Survey and Planning

    We establish benchmark elevations, identify high and low points, analyze existing drainage patterns, and develop grading plans that meet engineering specifications and building codes.

    2.

    Rough Grade Verification

    Before fine grading begins, we verify the rough grade meets design elevations. Correcting major elevation issues at this stage prevents costly adjustments after fine grading completion.

    3.

    Equipment Selection

    Fine grading requires appropriate equipment—laser-guided grading equipment for large areas, smaller machines for tight spaces, and hand tools for detailed work around foundations and utilities.

    4.

    Precision Grading Execution

    Our fine grading contractor team uses laser levels and GPS technology to achieve precise elevations. We make multiple passes, checking elevations frequently to ensure accuracy within specified tolerances.

    5.

    Compaction and Stabilization

    Proper soil compaction prevents settling after construction. We compact soil in lifts using appropriate equipment, achieving density specifications that support concrete and paving installations.

    6.

    Final Inspection and Verification

    Survey equipment confirms final grades match engineering plans. We document elevations, verify drainage patterns, and ensure readiness for subsequent construction phases.

    Grading for Different Applications

    1.

    Foundation Preparation

    Leveled, compacted surfaces provide stable bases for concrete foundations. We ensure proper bearing capacity through compaction testing and verify elevations match foundation plans precisely.

    2.

    Concrete Flatwork Preparation

    Concrete grading services for driveways, patios, and sidewalks require smooth, properly sloped subgrades. We establish grades that account for concrete thickness while maintaining required drainage slopes.

    3.

    Landscape Grading

    Creating attractive, functional landscapes requires artistic contouring balanced with practical drainage. We grade for aesthetic appeal while preventing erosion and water accumulation.

    4.

    Parking and Paving

    Large paved areas need precise grading for water runoff to designated collection points. We coordinate grades with civil engineering plans for stormwater management system integration.
