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.

Orlando Land Clearing, Grading, Excavation, Paving

Whether it is a commercial developer building a multi-use complex or a family building a home in Central Florida, development projects need an experienced excavation and site clearing service.

A solid foundation for every commercial and residential structure is vital for any building. If the cavity for the foundation is not properly dug out and prepared, it could mean costly repairs later. A quality excavation company adheres to the site plan to ensure the property is cleared, leveled and after the foundation has been cured, the area is backfilled around the foundation.

To ensure the site is properly cleared, heavy equipment is needed. Bulldozers and dump trucks will remove any untreated debris, trees, existing foundations and debris. Then the soil is tested for stability to ensure it will hold the weight of the buildings.

New roadways that will need to be built are staked out and the path is bulldozed. The debris is cleared out and hauled away. Proper drainage and utilities lines dug.

Water runoff and drainage are very important in Central Florida. If the land is not properly graded the rainy season will be disastrous. Water will accumulate at the foundation, causing damage and even interior flooding. Grading is responsible for proper drainage.

A smooth and level landscape is not only a significant aesthetic component, it is logistically important to the project. You don’t want water rushing into a building every a big storm comes along or a flooded parking lot.

Slopes, hills, ditches, elevations are all important aspects of a construction project. Though they may not look complex, there is quite a bit of science that goes into developing them. At Swell Construction we understand the requirements for each elevation, to ensure there won’t be any problems down the road.
