Final Grade for New Construction
A proper final grade protects your investment by directing water away from foundations, driveways, and landscape features. At Crossed Arrow Earthworks, we ensure your site meets final elevation requirements with a smooth, compacted finish. We work closely with contractors and builders to meet timelines, inspection standards, and engineered specs. Whether you're building a home, garage, or pole barn, our finish-grade service sets the foundation for long-lasting performance and worry-free drainage. Clean, level, and construction-ready every time.
What You Gain
Proper Drainage, Less Erosion
Effective land grading controls how water flows across your property, preventing pooling, washouts, and foundation damage. We shape your land to guide runoff away from structures, which reduces erosion, protects landscaping, and keeps your soil in place. Our attention to slope and surface drainage ensures your lot stays stable through every season. Whether you’re preparing a building pad or a large acreage, our grading helps you avoid costly drainage issues down the road because good grading means peace of mind.
Faster Build Timelines
A properly graded site means your build can move forward without costly delays or last-minute corrections. Our crews work efficiently to prepare your land for excavation, foundation work, and utility installation, eliminating surprises and unnecessary backtracking. With a clean, compacted, and level surface, your contractors can start right away and pass inspections faster. We understand that time is money in construction, so we get your land ready on schedule, giving your project a strong, dependable head start.
Our Three-Step Grading Method
Topographic Assessment
Before we break ground, we evaluate the land’s natural contours, elevation changes, and drainage paths using topographic tools and site surveys. This step allows us to identify high and low spots, soil conditions, and any grading challenges upfront. Understanding the lay of the land helps us develop a precise plan that ensures stability, proper slope, and drainage compliance. Every successful grading project starts here with careful planning and an expert eye on every square foot of your lot.
Cut, Fill, Compact
Once the plan is set, we begin cutting down high areas and filling in low ones to achieve the desired grade. This cut-and-fill process is performed using GPS-controlled equipment for pinpoint accuracy. After adjustments, we thoroughly compact the soil to prevent settling and ensure long-term stability. This phase is critical for load-bearing areas like foundations, driveways, and retaining walls. We don’t just move dirt. We shape it to support everything that comes next in your build.
Finish-Grade Verification
After primary grading, we perform a finish grade to smooth the surface and fine-tune elevation. We then verify slope direction, grade tolerances, and compaction levels using laser instruments and on-site checks. This ensures the land meets or exceeds engineering specs and is ready for construction, landscaping, or sale. Finish-grade verification prevents water retention issues, construction headaches, and failed inspections. It’s our final step but your first step toward a successful, worry-free project that starts on perfectly prepared ground.
