Quality excavation and site clearing is vital to any construction project here in Central Florida. Without it, foundations can fail, causing cracks, shifts, and even sinking into the ground. Today’s homes and businesses a heavier than ever before, the foundation needs to be able to support the building, stone countertops, flooring, and everything it contains. 

The foundation should be sturdy and strong enough to last forever, this takes a quality excavation service. 

For instance, if the backfill bordering the foundation is too wet, the moisture will be absorbed by the concrete. Which will in turn cause a host of problems such as cracks and leaks. 

Rushing the process and not adhering to all the local building codes and restrictions can really set a project back. Both in time and financially. The professionals at Swell Construction take all the details into consideration, the distance between overhead power lines, fences, easement, and such. Small mistakes now turn into big repairs later. 

During the excavation and site clearing process it is vital that all the tree roots are removed where foundations will be poured. Removing just the stump just won’t do. In our tropical climate roots will continue to grow and damage the foundation. 

Complete site development takes proper heavy equipment. This should be done by an experienced team. Soil, rocks, and debris need to be properly removed. Displaced soil can cause landslides and collapsed walls. 

How much will it cost?

Excavation, land grading, proper drainage, are all things that should come to mind when you start construction on a piece of property. Whether it is a large subdivision, business or a single family home, properly preparing your site is an important step. 

Why is Land Grading so Important?

Land grading 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. 

A solid foundation is essential for a successful project

Water is prevalent here in Central Florida. Costly damages happen when water doesn’t drain properly. Cracks and structural impairments can result when the property isn’t properly graded. Water should never be allowed to pool around the foundation. Proper grading also discourages erosion of the land. 

Set the Tone for the Rest of the Project

Whether it is new construction or an existing building, having a plan established by a professional ensures your project won’t have problems in the future. When your grading is properly performed it addresses a ‘buffer zone’ of vegetation, current regulations, and backfill around the foundation.  If not, erosion, foundation and moisture issues, termites, and even legal problems can develop.
