Orlando’s Top Paving & Asphalt Repair

Your parking lot or driveway is one of the first thing clients and visitors see as they drive up to your business or home. How does it look? Does it have unsightly cracks, potholes, fading or even slow to drain? These are problems that can discourage guests and decrease your property value. 

Let’s face it, nothing lasts forever, that includes pavement. Turning a blind eye to the wear and tear can lead to bigger and more costly problems. Does your pavement need updating?  Look for these signs:

Surface cracks 

Cracks in the pavement that are less than 1/4 inch wide may be an easy fix. But larger cracks can be a larger issue. The repairs depend on the cracks, you can rely on the team at Swell Construction for an honest assessment. 

Potholes

More than just an eye-sore, potholes can damage vehicles and even be a liability.

Potholes can be the tip of an ugly iceberg. The water that collects in the pothole from the rain, seeps into the undersurface, softening the foundation of the driveway or parking lot. This also leads to costly damage and cracks. 

Fading and stains

Fading and stains are unsightly and inevitable in our environment. Whether it is sealcoating or an easy renovation, it will keep it looking attractive and protect it from future fading and stains. 

Slow to drain 

If you have water collecting, instead of draining, you could have a bigger problem than you think. The situation needs to be remedied as soon as possible. 

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

Missing or loose pieces around the boarder

Chunks of missing pavement are definitely not attractive and will need to be repaired by removing the damaged places and replaced.  

As a leader in the industry, Swell Construction our goal is to continue to build up relationships with our current customers and to reach out and form new relationships with potential clients. It is our responsibility to provide our customers with a quality-finished project. This is achieved by having highly skilled personnel in all positions within our company.

Central Florida Excavation; Land Clearing & Grubbing

By:Wes

First step for developing land for a construction project 

To turn land into a suitable construction site, it first must be cleared and grubbed. Most properties here in Central Florida have previously buildings, debris, and have overgrown brush and trees. All this needs to be properly removed for a successful project. 

What is Land Clearing?

Before construction begins, the land must be properly prepared by removing any debris. This includes any vegetation, trees, and brush, so the land can be graded.

Excavation may be necessary for extensive leveling or for the removal of large trees. 

If a property has an existing building or structure, clearing them will be necessary.

This is the first step to have a final site ready for new construction.

What is Land Grubbing?

After a property has been cleared of vegetation, brush and trees, any remaining debris, rocks, logs, and roots will need to be removed, this is land grubbing. 

Land grubbing must take place before site grading can begin. 

How is All Of This Done?

Depending on the site, type of materials, and how much leveling needs to be done, there are a number of equipment and strategies that can be utilized.

The location of utility lines must be confirmed before excavation begins. Bulldozers can be used to push over smaller trees, others may need to be cut down. A bush hog can be used to remove surface vegetation. Then rocks, trees, brush, and debris are all removed. Heavy equipment is used to grind stumps down and dig up roots, then everything is removed.

How Important Is Grading To Your Central Florida Project?

How important is it to have an experienced contractor to handle your grading project? So, important that this process can make or break your project!

So, What Is Grading?

Site grading is the term engineers use for leveling the land to fulfill the specification of the project. The slope of the land is considered the “grade”. Adjusting the slope of the land before building on it is grading. 

The grading process takes place in the beginning stages of construction. Taking into account the soil composition, the water retention and soil density, grading takes experience and the right equipment.

Why Is Grading So Important?

Grading plays a huge role in the quality and longevity of the buildings in the project. 

Grading is responsible for creating a solid foundation. Building are very heavy and need to remain structurally sound for many years, a strong foundation is necessary for this to happen. 

Our torrential downpours here in Central Florida can easily wreak havoc on a building. Proper grading reduces the risk of erosion and keeps water flowing downhill, according to the its natural course.

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. 

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.

The success and overall integrity of your project depends on properly preparing the property for construction.  This phase is too important to leave to just any company, it takes experience, the right equipment, appropriate licensing and insurance.

When you choose Swell Construction you can be sure to get the highest quality, professionalism, and great customer service.
