Grading

Performance & Longevity

Proper grading is essential for the performance and longevity of parking lots, roadways, and driveways. Without accurate grading, issues such as poor drainage, surface failure, and premature pavement damage can occur. Grading ensures water flows correctly and provides a stable foundation for paving and construction.

Grading Services

Our grading services include:

  • Grading for commercial, residential, and public projects

  • Use of motor graders and bulldozers for large-scale accuracy

Common Questions

Why is proper grading important for paving projects?

Proper grading ensures correct drainage and provides a stable base for paving. Without accurate grading, water can collect on the surface or beneath the pavement, leading to premature wear and structural issues.

What types of projects require grading services?

Grading is commonly required for parking lots, roadways, driveways, subdivisions, and site development projects. It is an essential step before asphalt paving, concrete installation, or roadway construction.

What equipment is used for grading work?

Grading projects may require motor graders, bulldozers, or smaller equipment, depending on the size of the site and the level of precision needed. Equipment selection is based on site conditions and project requirements.

Can grading be performed based on existing plans or surveys?

Yes. Grading can be completed using existing engineering plans or survey data. For projects without established grades, assistance can be provided to help develop a grading and dirt work plan.

Does grading help with drainage issues?

Yes. One of the primary goals of grading is to direct water away from paved surfaces and structures. Proper grading helps prevent standing water, erosion, and long-term pavement damage.
