What is Commercial Grading?

Commercial site grading is a crucial step of commercial construction projects. The grading process occurs before the actual building of a parking lot or structure and ensures the proper foundation - either a flat base or a specific slope - is achieved. Essentially, contractors adjust and reshape the land to meet the needs of the site being constructed.

The first step is to create a parking lot grading plan. This involves assessing the needs and requirements of the site to be built, surveying the land and soil quality, as well as fleet and equipment prep.

Next, the land is prepared. This involves removing vegetation, topsoil, rocks, and any existing structures using heavy machinery such as bulldozers and excavators.

Next is the mass excavation, where material from high levels are moved to lower lying areas to create a more even surface.

Finally, the site is graded. This part of the process involves soil compaction, rough grading and finish grading.

Signs Your Commercial Paving Needs Grading

• Faded or Cracked Surface - The presence of a faded or cracked asphalt surface may indicate the need for asphalt grading. Cracks may point to foundational issues, and if left untreated, an uneven surface can lead to pooling water, flooding, and the accelerated deterioration of your pavement. Fortunately, commercial grading service helps to prevent these problems from arising.
  
• Poor Drainage and Standing Water - If you notice pooling and standing water along with other signs of poor drainage, this may indicate that your commercial parking lot needs to be regraded. Insufficient grading construction can cause drainage issues, which become especially apparent during heavy rainfall. Standing water can pose a range of risks, both to the integrity of your asphalt surface as well as to the safety of people and vehicles using your parking lot. Pooling water can cause slippery surfaces, as well as potholes which pose a significant risk for damage to vehicles.
  
• Uneven or Sunken Areas - Uneven and sunken areas in your parking lot are major indicators of grading issues that should not be ignored. Depressions in your asphalt most often indicate that the soil beneath was not properly prepared for the laying of the pavement; more specifically, it indicates that the soil was likely not compacted strongly enough, which can cause sunken areas over time. Proper commercial grading ensures an even, stable base. These sunken spots can pose a potential danger to people and vehicles using your parking lots, including tripping hazards and increased wear and tear on vehicles.
