Comprehensive Grading Services We Offer
Land Clearing and Site Preparation
Before any construction or landscaping project begins, you need to have a clean, obstacle-free site. Our team handles the land clearing, removing trees, brush, debris, and other barriers.
We ensure your site is fully prepared, providing a blank canvas for construction, paving, or landscaping. Properly clearing the land ensures a smooth start to your project and prevents future issues, such as erosion or drainage problems.
Rough Grading for Building Foundations
Once the land is clear, the next step is rough grading. This process involves leveling the ground and establishing the correct slope for your project. We carefully adjust the grade to create a stable base for building foundations.
We account for your site’s specific characteristics to ensure water flows away from critical areas, reducing the risk of pooling and foundation damage. Whether it’s a commercial building, warehouse, office complex, or industrial facility, our rough grading services lay the groundwork for a successful project.
Fine Grading for Landscaping and Drainage
Fine grading requires precision to create a smooth, level surface and channel water flow. This involves carefully leveling the soil, addressing high and low areas, and creating subtle slopes or contours. With fine grading, we ensure proper drainage, reduce erosion risk, and establish a solid foundation for lawns, gardens, and paved areas.
Fine grading is essential for aesthetics and functionality in commercial and industrial properties. It improves site drainage around parking lots, walkways, and landscaped areas, reducing long-term maintenance needs and preventing water-related issues. This approach results in a visually appealing and efficiently managed site.
Road and Driveway Grading
Grading is essential for long-term durability, whether building a new road or driveway or improving an existing one. We provide road and driveway grading services that establish the correct elevation and slope for smooth, stable surfaces.
By paying close attention to drainage, we ensure your site’s surfaces can withstand Charleston’s damp, humid weather conditions. Proper grading helps prevent common water-related issues like potholes, cracks, and foundation problems, protecting your property long-term.
