Road Construction and Grading

The final elements of site development are road construction and grading. Completion of these last efforts gets the project ready for final use, whether it be for homes, commercial building construction, or public roadway.

Road construction begins with sub-base after all underground work is completed and is followed by curb installation. After appropriate curing of the concrete curbs the road base is installed and after the base cures the asphalt wearing surface is installed.  Stakeout for these efforts is done by C & M crews.

Final site grading is done along with the road building effort and is finalized just before the asphalt goes down. Final grading is the last step in the earthwork process. It results in areas being made ready for vertical construction of homes or commercial buildings. Final grading is not just the placement of dirt. All filled areas must have appropriate size, shape, and soil strength before being useable.  As with all site construction tasks, C & M crews provide GPS governed stake out for size, shape, and elevations.
