THE RIGHT WORK FOR YOUR SURFACE

Plan the right work for your property.

Grading and base preparation shape the foundation beneath a driveway, parking lot, or other paved surface.

A pavement surface relies on what supports it. We evaluate the existing ground, planned elevations, drainage paths, and transitions before preparing the area.

What the work may include.

  • Review grades and drainage
  • Prepare the project area
  • Place and compact the base

The proposed paved area needs to connect sensibly with the features around it. Garage floors, roadside entrances, existing pavement, and surrounding ground all help inform the preparation plan. During the site review, point out any places where water collects or the ground feels uneven.

The required preparation depends on site conditions discovered during the property review.
