What Is Grading & Site Preparation?
Grading and site preparation follows land clearing to shape the terrain, establish drainage slopes, create building pads, and compact subgrade. It's the critical step between raw land and a construction-ready site that meets engineer specifications and building codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need an engineer for grading?
- Residential lots often don't require a licensed engineer, but larger projects, commercial pads, and sites with complex drainage typically do. Local building codes dictate requirements.
- What's the difference between rough and finish grading?
- Rough grading establishes the overall elevations and drainage patterns. Finish grading is the final pass to create a smooth, seeding-ready surface at the correct elevation before landscaping or paving.
- Can grading fix drainage problems on an existing property?
- Yes. Regrading is a cost-effective solution for chronic yard flooding, water in basements, and poorly draining driveways. A simple evaluation can identify the fix.
