Kissimmee & Orlando Excavation & Grading

Whether it is a large scale commercial construction project here in Central Florida or a residential design plan, land clearing, site excavation, and grading are three of the most crucial components. 

First the land is cleared of any trees, roots, stumps, brush, rocks, debris, and dirt from the site. Then excavation and grading starts, where the land leveled and prepared for construction.  This included ensuring dirt is distributed strategically to allow for proper water runoff. 

While preparing the land for construction may not sound complicated, proper site work makes all the difference. It can create a solid foundation that last for many decades or a project that encounters costly delays and serious problems down the road.

Central Florida’s Excavation & Site Development

Before a construction project begins in Orange, Osceola, Lake, or Volusia County, excavation and site clearing are usually necessary. No matter what size project you have, the development of your property should be done by a professional. 

So, before you go out and rent some large equipment and do the work yourself, take note of these warnings. 

Surprises In The Soil 

Just because the soil you see on top looks manageable, what’s underneath may be a whole different story. Sand pits are known for collapsing, muddy or wet soil typically runs out of the bucket, and rocks are not only cumbersome, they are very difficult to break up. 

Testing the soil before excavation begins will determine the type of equipment. A professional service will have the experience and the right equipment to get the job right. Bracing the pits, treating the soil, and drilling the dirt. 

The Proper Equipment 

Professionals have the right equipment, making the job safer and quicker. For instance, using a bobcat to dig small rows for irrigation and plumbing pipes is cumbersome. Trenchers can do the job better and easier. 

The extending arms of a crane or backhoe makes the process of digging and reaching around obstacles much safer. The professionals at Swell construction own over 100 pieces of construction grade, heavy equipment, to make sure your project is done right. 

Reduce Property Damage 

What is under the ground, public utilities, buried pipes, and who knows what other obstacles lies beneath the soil. You also need to worry about the overhead lines and buildings. Large equipment isn’t always easy to maneuver, it takes experience 

Excavation Can Be Dangerous

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports of over 150,000 construction site accidents every year.  From pits collapsing to equipment accidents, there are more hazards than most people realize. Professionals understand the technical tasks and details before the work begins. 

A solid foundation starts with quality construction site development. At Swell Construction, we are committed to quality work at cost effective price.

All properties here in Central Florida require some type of clearing, removing trees and debris, and leveling the soil, will ensure the land will properly drain and buildings have a firm foundation. 

What is land grading?

After the property has been excavated, all the unwanted brush, rocks, roots, tree stumps, dirts and anything else, the land needs to be leveled. Typically known as ‘cut and fill’, Cutting dirt from higher areas and moving it to lower spots.

Grading is also a vital component to create proper drainage and prevents erosion.
