Our Site Prep Process
1. Surveying and Soil Testing
- Site Surveying: Establishes precise boundaries, property lines, and elevation levels.
- Soil Testing: Evaluates load-bearing capacity and identifies soil composition (clay, sand, rock) to determine the best foundation type.
- Utility locating: Contact local authorities (such as calling 811 for the National Safe to Dig hotline) to map out underground gas, electric, and sewer lines before heavy machinery moves in.
2. Clearing and Demolition
- Vegetation Removal: Clearing trees, brush, and rocks from the designated building envelope.
- Stump Grinding/Grubbing: Removing underground root systems to prevent future shifting of the soil.
- Demolition: Hauling away any existing, dilapidated structures or old concrete and asphalt.
3. Excavation and Earthwork
- ● Foundation Digging: Excavating trenches, pits, or a full basement, depending on the foundation plan.
- ● Soil Stabilization: Compacting the soil to typically meet 95% compaction standards to ensure a solid load-bearing surface.
4. Grading and Drainage
- Rough Grading: Leveling the site and adjusting the slopes so that surface water naturally drains away from where the future structure will sit.
- Water Management: Installing French drains, retaining walls, or runoff management features as needed.
