Site Preparation

Site Preparation for Construction Projects Across Coastal Alabama

Building on raw land starts with getting the ground ready. We handle site prep work for homes, shops, and structures – clearing, grading, and building pads so your construction crew can show up and start framing instead of figuring out how to level the ground.

Building Pad Construction

Pads built for homes, garages, and accessory structures

Ground leveled and compacted to support your foundation type

Work sized to your building footprint and site requirements

Foundation Site Prep

Excavation and grading for slab foundations and pier-and-beam

Ground prepared so concrete crews can pour without delays

Site layout coordinated with your building plans

Grading for Construction

Property graded so water drains away from your building site

Slopes adjusted to prevent pooling and foundation problems

Final grade planned for long-term drainage and stability

Site Clearing & Rough Prep

Vegetation and topsoil removed to expose stable ground

Work staged to support grading and pad construction

Prep completed before foundation excavation begins

Site Prep That Sets Up the Rest of Your Build

The condition of the pad affects how your foundation performs, and proper grading determines how water moves around the site after construction. We approach site preparation with an understanding of what builders, concrete crews, and inspectors expect, so the next phase of work can move forward smoothly.

Why Site Prep Quality Affects Your Entire Build

When site prep is done poorly, problems show up as construction moves forward. Improper compaction leads to settling and cracking, and incorrect grading creates drainage issues around foundations. Preparing the ground correctly from the start avoids rework and supports a stable structure long term.

Compaction affects foundation stability. Poorly compacted soil settles after the foundation is poured, leading to movement and cracks.
Drainage planning controls water flow. Proper grading directs runoff away from basements, crawl spaces, and foundations.
Pad elevation impacts construction timing. Correct elevations allow concrete and framing crews to work without delays or adjustments.
