Proper excavation and site clearing is vital for a successful project here in Central Florida. The foundation is a vital part of any type of building, from a housing subdivision to a medical complex or even a parking lot. Considerable skill, training, and the right equipment is necessary for a foundation that will stand the test of time. 

It All Starts With A Stable Foundation

The foundation is responsible for supporting hundreds of thousands of pounds.  It also needs to stay dry, remain level, and resist changes in the weather, such as our intense heat and torrential downpours. Don’t forget the many tons the foundation itself weighs. Which means the ground must be carefully prepared and excavated to withstand the stress. 

Every Property Is Unique

The excavation process must be carefully planned and executed. Every property is different, they all have unique characteristics that must be examined and taken into consideration. Such as, moisture, water table, soil stability, and quality of the backfill. 

For those properties with a high water table, they may require protection at the base to safeguard the foundation from water damage.

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.

For a successful project, water run off and drainage need to be properly addressed. It may seem pretty straightforward, but with Central Florida extreme afternoon thunderstorm, it is anything but. Proper drainage means all that water will have somewhere to go, instead of causing a flood inside a building or on the property.
