Site Preparation and Grading

Site Preparation and Grading in Waco

Every build starts with the dirt underneath it. Comptonpolicegangs shapes raw Waco parcels to the engineer’s grading plan through clearing, topsoil stripping, cut and fill, and a rough to finish grade that sets pad elevations, drainage slopes, and a compacted subgrade ready for concrete or aggregate. Get the grade right and the rest of the project has a solid, well-draining foundation.

Why Grading Matters

Poor grade is where water problems begin. If a pad does not slope away from the structure, runoff pools against the foundation and the local clay swells and shifts. We set positive slopes, balance the cut and fill so you are not paying to import or haul dirt you do not need, and compact the subgrade in controlled lifts to the density a Proctor test calls for, commonly 95 percent.

Our Process

We walk the lot, review the grading plan, and call 811 before any blade breaks ground. Then we strip and stockpile topsoil, move to the rough grade, and finish with a precise final pass checked against the stakes. On sites disturbing an acre or more we install silt fence and erosion control to meet stormwater rules. The owners near Bosque Boulevard who recommend us tend to mention how clean and tight the finished grade came out.
