When Standard Grading Is Not Enough

We begin by reviewing your site plan, drainage calculations, and elevation requirements, then lay out grading benchmarks and slope indicators before equipment moves dirt in Stockton. Precision grading involves cuts and fills measured in tenths of a foot, with laser-guided equipment and GPS systems used to hold tolerances that affect water flow, foundation stability, and paving outcomes.

After specialty grading is complete, you will see slopes that direct water away from buildings, pads that hold elevation under load, and surfaces that meet engineer callouts for drainage and compaction. Water moves where intended, and the site performs as designed under rain and traffic.

We coordinate with civil engineers, surveyors, and inspectors to verify grades before compaction and paving begin. Specialty grading includes custom slope work, drainage control, and precision cuts, with compaction testing and surveying support provided as needed. We work regularly with sites that have tight tolerances, limited access, or drainage problems that require grading adjustments to correct.

These Questions Come Up on Nearly Every Project

Specialty grading often involves questions about accuracy, equipment, and what happens if site conditions do not match the plan. The answers below address what contractors and engineers typically ask before scheduling precision grading work.

What types of projects require specialty grading?
Sites with drainage problems, tight elevation tolerances, or custom slopes for parking lots, loading docks, and building pads often need precision grading. We also handle sites where standard grading has failed to control water or meet compaction requirements.
How do you achieve precision with grading equipment?
We use laser-guided grading systems and GPS equipment to hold elevations within tenths of a foot. Operators check grades throughout the process using survey benchmarks and elevation stakes provided by the project engineer.
What happens if soil does not compact as expected?
We adjust moisture content, compaction depth, or material type based on testing results and engineer recommendations. If soil cannot meet specifications, we coordinate with the engineer to determine whether replacement material or stabilization is needed.
How long does specialty grading typically take?
Timing depends on site size, slope complexity, and compaction requirements. A small precision pad may take a few days, while a large site with multiple drainage features can take weeks depending on soil conditions and testing schedules.
Why does experience with local soil behavior matter for specialty grading?
Stockton soils include clay, sandy loam, and expansive materials that behave differently under moisture and load. We adjust compaction methods, lift thickness, and moisture control based on what the soil does during grading and testing.
