Often overlooked in project planning, site leveling is a crucial step in site preparation before project construction begins. The team at Reiss Earthworks is committed to helping you start your next project on level ground with advanced laser grading technology and expert heavy machinery operators. Our use of modern laser grading technology ensures an accurate and level surface, preventing any costly crests and depressions that could affect your construction project.
It is commonly thought that laser grading is only justifiable and available for extremely large-scale projects such as highway construction, athletic fields, large site developments, and massive warehouses. However, we’ve made this technology accessible for all consumers, and our investment in this technology provides laser-perfected site leveling on all project sizes. The process of leveling sites for building starts with an onsite consultation with our clients. During this consultation, we evaluate your project, review your desired outcome, plans, and needs. Elevation shots are taken to determine project leveling specifics in relation to the target elevation of the structure. This allows us to provide a custom proposal based on the site cut and fill material needs.
Construction & Completion
Next, we’ll bring in the heavy equipment for a very exciting day — groundbreaking, second only to the unveiling of the project in terms of excitement! Layers of aggregate or clay material are used to level your site, compacted in lifts using specialized equipment until the target elevation is reached, transforming your natural land flow into a level slab.
We can complete a broad range of site work, ensuring a comprehensive and thorough approach to meet your needs regardless of location. Other services commonly performed in conjunction with site leveling and building pads include the installation or construction of driveways and parking areas, swales, culverts, grading, brush, and tree clearing, utility installs, retaining walls, and seeding. We encourage you to look at previous projects we have completed for a better idea of our earth-leveling service.
It’s important to note that specific steps and material choices can vary based on factors such as climate, soil conditions, construction modalities, and intended use. Consulting with professional services such as civil or geotechnical engineering, or hydrologists is always a good idea to tailor the installation process to the unique circumstances of your project.
