Things to consider when preparing your site

Land Clearing and Vegetation Removal

This is one of the first steps in site preparation. It involves the removal of trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from the site to make way for construction. This process may also include stump and root removal to ensure a clear, flat surface.

Grading and Leveling

After the land has been cleared, it needs to be graded and leveled. This process ensures that the ground is even and ready for construction. It also helps with water drainage and can prevent future issues with the building's foundation.

Excavation and Soil Removal

Depending on the construction project, some parts of the land may need to be excavated. This could be for creating a basement, installing utilities, or preparing the ground for the foundation. The excess soil is then removed from the site.

Erosion Control and Sediment Management

To protect the site and surrounding areas from erosion, measures such as silt fences, hay bales, or erosion control blankets are put in place. This is especially important in areas prone to heavy rains or wind.

Foundation Preparation

This involves preparing the ground for the foundation of the building. It may include tasks like digging footings, installing rebar, pouring concrete, or setting up a gravel base for sheds and garages.

"Recently I found myself in need of some major driveway repair. I decided to give Piedmont Dirt Works a try and I’m sure glad I did. Not only was the young man very pleasant and mannerly, but he listened to my needs, and then gave me his opinion about the best way to handle. "
