Laying the Foundation
Premium Grading and Stone
Every great project begins with exceptional grading.
Every great surface starts with precise grading and high-quality stone work. We know that a strong, stable foundations are critical to the performance and longevity of any paved surface, whether it’s asphalt, concrete, or a specialty material.
Our crews use advanced equipment to ensure accurate grading that promotes proper drainage, prevents settling, and supports long-term structural integrity. We also source and place premium stone materials to create a compacted, even base tailored to the needs of each site. From roadbeds and parking lots to building pads and walkways, we handle grading and stone installation for commercial and residential projects of all sizes. Our attention to detail at the ground level helps prevent problems down the road, ensuring your project is built on a foundation you can trust. It’s not just about what goes on top—it’s about getting the base right from the start.
Grading and Stone Installation Process
Site Assessment & Planning
We begin by evaluating the site conditions, soil type, drainage needs, and project requirements to develop a precise grading plan.
Clearing and Excavation
The area is cleared of vegetation, debris, and any unsuitable material. Excavation equipment is used to remove or move soil as needed.
Rough Grading
Heavy machinery shapes the land to approximate the desired elevations and slopes, ensuring proper drainage and foundation stability.
Stone Base Placement
Crushed stone or aggregate is brought in and spread evenly over the graded area to form a strong, stable base.
Compaction
The stone base is compacted using rollers or plate compactors to eliminate air pockets and create a dense, load-bearing foundation.
Fine Grading
Final grading smooths the surface and fine-tunes slopes for optimal drainage and preparation for paving or construction.
