Central Florida Land Clearing and Excavation

There is a lot that goes into preparing a Central Florida property for construction. More than just clearing the land, it involves removing all the debris, trees, and shrubs, but it also includes, grading, earthwork, excavation, paving and storm water and utility systems installation.

At Swell Construction We Take Care Of It All

Permits are needed before the land clearing project can begin. It is important to take any steps to prevent erosion and protect any vegetation. But don’t worry, Swell Construction will help. 

Existing Structures Removed

Whether it is some old asphalt, concrete or a building, it all needs to be properly removed before a new construction can take place. The debris will need to be appropriately disposed of. 

Removing Vegetation, Debris and Rocks

Any trees or vegetation you want to remain on the property can be marked, everything else can be cleared out. It may require more work to remove mature trees.

Earthwork and Grading the Land 

Grading takes place after all the debris and vegetation is removed. Soil is either added or taken away depending on the situation. The soil is leveled out to ensure the foundation is sturdy for the construction process. 

Best Left to Professionals

Land clearing takes the right equipment, training, and experience. It’s much more than using a chain saws to chopping down a few trees.

Safety is also an issue, you need to be very familiar with working with large equipment. Overgrown vegetation here in Florida is known to hide dangerous and hazardous materials under them, which will need to be safely removed.

Kissimmee & Clermont Excavation & Site Clearing

Whether it is a commercial property, parking lot, subdivision, or single family home, in Central Florida, the first and most important step is a strong and stable foundation. Without it you can end up with some serious issues down the road. 

No matter what type of excavation or site development work you are doing, it is necessary to understand the importance of properly clearing the site, excavation, trenching, and digging for footings. 

A foundation is more than just a solid base for every building

The foundation and soil underneath it is what keeps the structure from sinking into the ground, while keeping moisture out. Without a proper excavation for a solid foundation a building would absorb moisture, a few years down the road the foundation may become soft and crack, the walls could be filled with mold.

A good foundation protects the framework from all types of ground movement. It could be from our torrential downpours, disturbances in the ground from vehicles or road work, or any type of vibrations. 

Before a foundation can be poured the base of crushed stone must be properly compacted to that the foundation does not crack or shift. 

Why do foundations in Central Florida fail?

With proper site work and pouring of the foundation, it should last forever without any problems. But if the backfill used around the foundation has too much moisture, it can result in excessive pressure, cracks and leaks.

Equally important is to remove any and all tree roots, not just the stump. If not the roots will continue to grow and cause significant damage to the foundation. 

Excavation creates a large amount of dirt, which needs to be stored and removed. Placed in the wrong place and it can result in displaces soil, landslide, collapsed wall, or trench.

Proper equipment and permits will be necessary for these types of site development.
