Excavating
Grading

Some of the excavation service we offer but are not limited to are as follows:

  • Tight access excavation: In spaces where a bulldozer or other heavy equipment can't do the job, we have the tools and expertise to create space even in tight situations.

  • Demolition: If an old shed or other structure is preventing you from adding on a garage or pool, an excavator can quickly demolish and remove it.   We can then do the excavation work needed to provide a firm foundation for your new construction.

  • Rock breaking: There's a huge boulder in your backyard. You've lived with it for years and even tried to make a feature of it by planting some flowers around its perimeter, but you've always wished it wasn't there. We can break it up and remove it for you.

  • Backyard clear-outs: No job is too big or too small for excavation specialists. If your backyard is an overgrown mess filled with unwanted bushes and other debris, we can come in and do in hours what would take you back-breaking days or weeks of toil to accomplish.

  • Drainage: We can help you with all of your drainage problems, large or small.

Grading of land means to cut dirt from a high spot and fill in a low spot, when grading and leveling, dirt is removed from high points and placed in low places making a level area. Other examples are grading of land for open drainage ditching to allow drainage of wet areas.

Grading is also used to level soil or material for buildings, roadways, parking lots, driveways, sub-grade base, and final grading around new homes. Grading and leveling are important to prepare the base. Grading, when done correctly will allow proper water flow and can control erosion.

Grading work is used by excavating contractors when specified grades are needed, land leveling tools are designed to help get this work done properly.

Paving on Grade

When paving on grade, new asphalt is placed on finished subgrade or aggregate base material. Tack coat is required only on adjoining surfaces and not over the entire area.  The new asphalt is laid down using the same process as the overlay below.

Asphalt Overlays

An asphalt overlay is simply the process of installing a new surface layer of hot mix asphalt directly over existing asphalt on either parking lots or roads. In order to be a candidate for an overlay, a pavement should be relatively sound without large areas of base failure. Prior to resurfacing, pavement repairs and transitions must be made. Cracks should be filled with rubberized crack sealer, and a tack coat applied over the entire surface. A new layer of asphalt is then placed.

An asphalt overlay is the least costly of the reconstruction techniques, but it has definite drawbacks. These include a limited service life, elevation considerations, inability to make drainage corrections, and a tendency to show reflective cracking in a relatively short period of time.

Fabric Overlay

Fabric overlay is a way to delay reflective cracking, although it will not prevent such cracking. Prior to placing a new layer of hot mix asphalt, a geo-textile fabric is embedded in liquid asphalt binder over the entire surface. The fabric/binder combination forms a membrane that helps keep water out of the base. The cost is approximately one-third greater than a basic overlay.
