Grading and excavating in SLO County

 Grading and excavating are two essential processes in the construction industry in San Luis Obispo County.

  Over-excavation for a foundation is a construction technique where soil is dug deeper or wider than the planned foundation depth, and then the removed material is replaced with engineered (compacted) fill such as gravel, crushed stone, or structural fill. 

 Grading is a process of reshaping land by removing, adding, or moving soil and rock to create a level surface for construction or landscaping purposes.

An excavating contractor is a professional who specializes in earthwork and excavation projects.
