A grading contractor is responsible for shaping and contouring the land to meet specific requirements. We handle the grading as well as full site preparation.  Their work typically involves the removal of soil, rocks, and vegetation to achieve a level and stable surface. Grading contractors use heavy machinery, such as bulldozers, excavators, and graders, to carry out their tasks efficiently. Here are the key responsibilities of a grading contractor:

Site Evaluation: Grading contractors assess the site conditions, considering factors like soil quality, slope, drainage, and existing structures. This evaluation allows them to plan the grading process effectively.

Earthwork and Excavation: Grading contractors perform excavation and earthmoving activities to remove excess soil and create the desired contours for the project. This includes cutting, filling, and leveling the land.

Drainage Systems: Grading contractors design and implement proper drainage systems to prevent water accumulation and ensure proper runoff, thereby preventing potential damage to the project.

Foundation Preparation: Grading contractors play a vital role in preparing the site for construction by ensuring a solid and stable foundation. They take into account soil compaction and leveling to ensure the structural integrity of the building.
