Subgrade Preparation

Subgrade preparation is the process of preparing the underlying soil layer before the construction of roads, driveways, patios, and other structures. This technique involves removing vegetation, rocks, and debris, grading the soil to the desired slope, and compacting it to create a stable base. Proper subgrade preparation is critical for ensuring that the surface above remains level, stable, and durable over time. The process may also include adding a layer of gravel or sand to improve drainage and further stabilize the subgrade. Subgrade preparation is a foundational step in construction and landscaping, providing the necessary support for the materials and structures that will be built on top.
