Earth Removal

Paving a site may involve needing to level and remove a substantial amount of earth. If your site needs earth removed to be properly prepared for a stable foundation, call the team at Rock On Paving & Construction. We offer earth removal services that can help you level out your area and grade it appropriately to prep for paving and installation. 

The earth removal step involves clearing away unsuitable materials like excess soil, rocks, and debris that could compromise the strength and durability of the pavement. By removing these obstacles, contractors can achieve the desired grade and create a clean, even surface ready for further preparation. Proper earth removal is a crucial step that sets the stage for a better foundation, and a better foundation creates a higher-quality, longer-lasting paved surface.

Land Grading & Site Leveling

Proper land grading and site preparation are the crucial groundwork for successful asphalt paving or concrete installation (pun definitely intended). Whether you’re looking to build a concrete pad to support your business, a parking lot that will be paved with asphalt, or any other type of paved surface for any application, the process should always begin with creating a level and well-packed surface that will support your new pavement. This starts by removing any irregularities in the terrain through excavation and earth movement, creating a stable area that is ready to support your project. 

Our process is as follows:

  • Site assessment: We first evaluate the site to identify terrain irregularities, soil stability, and potential drainage issues. This step helps plan the grading process effectively.
  • Clearing and excavation: We start by removing vegetation, debris, and unsuitable materials from the area. Once that is done, we excavate as needed to establish the desired grade and prepare the site for leveling.
  • Leveling: Using grading equipment to shape and smooth the terrain, we create a flat or properly sloped surface that meets your project’s requirements.
  • Addressing drainage: We incorporate drainage solutions like slopes, swales, or culverts to allow water to easily and seamlessly flow away from the paved area.
  • Soil compaction: Finally, we compact the soil with specialized equipment to create a stable and firm base, minimizing the risk of shifting or settling after the asphalt or concrete is installed.

Planning for Drainage & Water Abatement

When prepping and leveling a site for concrete or asphalt installation, our team at Rock On Paving & Construction carefully considers each site’s drainage and stormwater abatement needs. Proper water flow is critical, so our contractors incorporate slopes, swales, or drainage features to direct water away from the paved surface and protect the land beneath from water damage that could cause erosion, shifting, buckling, or other potentially serious problems for your concrete or asphalt surface. This not only prevents pooling and potential damage but promotes long-term stability and durability for your surface, even in adverse weather conditions.
