Grading
Drainage and Grade, Done Right
Rough and fine grading that establishes drainage, building pads, and pavement subgrades to civil tolerance.
What is Site Grading?
Site grading shapes the land to design elevation, slope, and drainage. Rough grading establishes mass contours; fine grading holds tight tolerances for slabs, sidewalks, and pavement sections. Proper grading prevents ponding, protects foundations, and keeps paving crews efficient.
Grading Services Include
Our Process
We work from civil plans and survey control, rough grade to establish drainage, then fine grade with laser-guided equipment. Proof rolls, compaction testing coordination, and survey as-builts support inspector sign-off before paving or foundations advance.
Grades That Protect Pavement and Structures
Poor drainage on Colorado clay is one of the fastest paths to pavement failure. Rough grade establishes contours; fine grade holds the tolerances your civil sheets require — with proof-roll and testing coordinated before inspectors sign off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tolerance can you hold on fine grading?
We grade to civil and paving specifications, coordinating with survey for certification when required.
Do you grade in winter?
Winter grading is possible with weather and frost considerations. We will advise on schedule risk for your site.
Can grading and utilities happen in the same mobilization?
Yes. We often sequence utilities then fine grade, or coordinate parallel work with inspection milestones.
