Since Florida is full of hills, our land needs to be leveled for any type of building or construction to take place. If the property to be leveled has trees and other vegetation, our land clearing service would be required before we can begin to level/grade your property.
Once the property is clear, our land leveling and grading service typically involves building up the area with fill dirt that is brought in, and/or excavated from higher sections of the land being graded. Once the area has been prepared, we'll do a rough grading using a scraper or bulldozer, followed up by our grader to create a finish grade with the precision required. If you require very precise leveling, we'll need to use our laser grading technique.
When we level land, we always make sure the grading is done to handle drainage. This is where we grade at a slight angle so water naturally runs away from the area being leveled. This is extremely important when grading to prepare a site to build a home, building or other structure.
Laser grading is not something many land service contractors in Florida can provide. Laser grading is the technique we use when precision is key. With laser grading, we can guarantee the land to be within 1/8" of the desired slope! Laser grading uses special equipment and technology that communicates using a transmitter from the laser to the machine. The machine will automatically adjust the blade to the appropriate slope for the current location.
