Our Pad Site and Sub Grade Prep Process
Step 1 – Initial Site Evaluation
We examine soil conditions, elevation, drainage needs, and building plans to create a custom approach for your site.
Step 2 – Grading and Soil Import
Our team clears and grades the site, adding select fill or sand as needed to build up the pad area to the required height.
Step 3 – Compaction and Moisture Conditioning
We compact the subgrade in layers with proper moisture content to meet engineering specs and prevent future settlement.
Step 4 – Final Leveling and Slope Correction
Using precision equipment, we laser-level the pad and verify surface slopes for drainage and structural support.
