Landscaping

Rough Grading/ Excavating

Most people are under the impression that landscaping is all about plants, trees and rocks and that adding a few elements here and there completes the landscape. Though these are very important aspects, they are by no means the only ones that matter. The fact is that a number of things like rough grading and excavating happen in the background to give you those picture-perfect landscapes.

How Rough Grading Works

Rough Grading is essentially the cutting & filling of the site. This is actually the preparation stage of the landscaping project. In this stage, the ground on your property in Hartland, Pewaukee and Watertown will be leveled out. Some areas might be backfilled and the site will also be set up for appropriate drainage. This is the basic thing that has to be done before the final grading takes place and the turf, plantings and hardscaping is installed. Apart from these things, the sidewalk and driveway areas will be cut out accurately too.

 

Attention to Detail

When we handle any landscaping project, this is one stage that has to be handled with great care. If it is not done right, the final grading and installation of all the other elements and features will not take place as planned. It is also important that all the rough grading and finish match the city code requirements and it is an extremely skilled job. The excavation that takes place might sometimes extend into other areas of the property too. This will be based in the exact hardscaping structures that will be built on them and the materials and installation method.

Expert Work

There is a lot of science involved in this and only expert rough graders and excavation professionals will be able to handle the work in an efficient way. Though it is important for homeowners to understand how this process and stage works, it’s not something you have to worry too much about. Not when we are handling it for you.
