Grading and Leveling Explained

  • Why is grading important for construction projects?

    Grading is essential for improving the stability and structural integrity of your worksite. It helps control water drainage, prevents flooding, reduces soil erosion and prepares a level foundation that supports the weight of buildings and more.

  • What is the difference between rough grading and fine grading?

    Rough grading is when large amounts of soil are moved to achieve the general shape of the land and create the site’s contours. Fine grading involves more precise leveling and smoothing, prepping the land for construction with the exact elevation needed for optimal drainage.

  • What does “cut and fill” mean in grading?

    Cut and fill refers to the process of excavating soil from higher areas and using that material to fill lower areas to level the land. This technique ensures that the site is smooth and ready for construction.
