Clearing, Stumping, and Grading

Site Preparation

In a typical residential construction project, the excavation contractor shows up after the surveying crew determines the house and lot boundaries. The contractor removes the soil to the depth required for the new foundation and ensures that the soil is firm through compaction tests and compaction with equipment, if necessary.

The dig requirements are precise, so excavating contractors must be able to use a level and transit to match the grade posted by the surveying crew. After the foundation contractor pours the footers and stem wall, the excavation contractor backfills around the new foundation. Excavation work isn't limited to residential construction, though. According to Home Advisor, it is employed in foundations, roads and driveways, sewer lines, drainage and landscaping projects.

Clearing, Stumping, and Grading

This process includes surveying the land against the blueprints for the construction and to figure out what needs to be done. Then, the land clearing services will get the land to a point where it’s ready to be built on.

This process often begins with clearing away any vegetation or large rocks on the land. Bushes and trees offer major obstacles for most construction projects. Even if a tree isn’t really in the way, its roots can become an issue years down the line.
