Commercial construction projects here in Central Florida usually involve some type of land clearing or excavation tasks to ensure the land is ready for construction. 

The removal of trees, brush, dirt, rock and any debris, is considered land clearing. While, excavation is when the dirt is moved according to the architectural design, filling low areas and removing higher ones. 

Land Clearing 

There are a number of processes that incorporate land clearing, depending on the construction project and the property. 

Clearing our any unwanted debris, including rubble, chemicals, and garbage from the construction site. After removing bushes, trees, rocks and dirt, the ground will need to be stabilized and leveled. 

This is an important step that affects the overall quality of the project for years to come. 

Land Excavation 

Once cleared of debris, the land is ready for site excavation. 

The next step is grading the land. This ensures the ground is reshaped to the planned grades. Proper drainage is imperative for any property in Florida, of which land grading plays an important role. It also helps control sedimentation, soil erosion, and surface runoff.

How Does Your Parking Lot Or Driveway Look?

Don’t estimate the how you asphalt parking lot or driveway looks. It’s one of the first things people notice when they drive up. If the asphalt is in poor condition, not only does it leave a negative impression, it can pose a danger. 

Consider these essentials tips when creating an parking lot design 

Thickness of the pavement 

Before construction even begins, the quality of the ground soil should be determined. The types of vehicles using the parking lot, cars, SUVs, or 6-wheelers, should be taken into consideration when it comes to the depth of the asphalt.  The more weight, the deeper the asphalt. 

Parking lot size, space layout and accessibility 

It is important to have enough spaces, the average space is 9×19 feet. If you angle the spaces (45 degrees) it will allow for more spaces. Other zones should be taken into consideration, drive thru lanes, drop off zones, ramps, curbs, walkways, and handicap parking. Don’t forget to make it attractive with bushes, trees, flowers. Which can also act as a barrier.

Keep it safe 

Properly installed sub-drainage is responsible for strong pavement, lasting well into the future. To preserve the sub-grade drainage pipes should be installed with filters. This allows a consistent flow of water and contain small particles of soil within the sub-grade. Proper materials are also important to ensure potholes don’t happen in the future, or any sinking or shifting in the foundation.

Site Work 

Preparing the land for a building is considered site work. This typically includes excavation, tree and debris removal, dirt prep, grading, stabilization, and more. This may seem simple enough, but the quality of site work can make the difference between costly construction delays and a solid foundation. 

Grading 

It is easy for property to look level, but it is important to be level, it is an important step. Cutting dirt from areas that are higher, filling in low spots, strategically distributing dirt to allow for proper water runoff. 

Quality land grading is essential for many reasons

When a building is built on ungraded or eleven land, it will be met with water drainage issues. It water doesn’t flow properly, it will circulate towards the building instead of away. 

With our torrential downpours here in Central Florida, it won’t take long before water has accumulated around the foundation. This leads to considerable water damage to the foundation, cinder blocks, landscape, and interior of the building. Without a solid foundation, you at risk of future for costly repairs.
