Our Approach to Slope Excavation and Land Levelling
Levelling a slope is mostly a question of deciding where the dirt goes and how the finished ground sheds water. Here's how we work that out and carry it through.
Survey the fall — we measure the existing levels and work out how much ground has to move to get the platform you want.
Cut and fill planning — we balance cut against fill where we can, since moving soil around the site beats carting it away.
Retaining assessment — we identify where a cut face needs a retaining wall to stay stable rather than being left to slump.
Bulk excavation — the slope is cut back in stages, keeping the working face stable as we go.
Compaction of fill — filled areas are built up and compacted in layers so the finished ground does not settle under load later.
Final grade and drainage — we trim the surface to a grade that sheds water away from buildings and boundaries.
