With a commercial site, landscape construction is about more than just appearance. At Crest Construction, we start by surveying the site to determine what is needed to prepare it for construction. Once the site conditions have been assessed, excavation is the next step. This involves the clearing of all vegetation, trees, and large rocks as well as any existing concrete and asphalt.

The clearing of the site is followed by grading which levels and adjust the slope of the site to create an appropriate base for the planned construction. Grading the site provides a stronger, more even foundation. Our team uses heavy machinery such as bulldozers and excavators to clear and prepare the site for leveling. Then we bring in a grader to even out the site and provide the perfect base for construction to begin.

Site grading is also used to effectively control the flow of runoff water. If water doesn’t drain properly, it can cause flooding and erosion, compromising the integrity of the site. This can also cause future issues with the completed construction. The site should slope away from the construction, directing water into storm drains to prevent foundation or structural damage. Landscape construction includes the design and installation of gutters and storm drains to ensure proper drainage as well as curbs, retaining walls and other hardscapes. Crest Construction can handle all aspects of landscape construction from the initial site assessment to the finishing touches.
