Site Work Long Island
In very broad terms, you could describe site work as any construction project that is not an actual building or home. But most Long Island contractors limit site work to excavation, site clearing, grading, soil stabilization, and paving.
What Excavation Services Qualify as Site Work?
Virtually all excavations could be considered site work. For example, we may excavate for a foundation, cut a drainage swale, dig a hole for a septic tank, excavate trenches for underground utilities, remove a troublesome outcropping, or excavate for an access road, a parking lot, or an underground tank.
What Does Site Clearing Involve?
If the site has been previously developed, there will likely be pavements or structures that need to be removed. If the land is undeveloped, the first order of business is typically to remove unwanted trees, undergrowth, and other vegetation. There may be boulders that need to be removed, or there could be other obstructions that need to be addressed.
What Is the Connection Between Site Work and Grading?
Once existing structures or obstructions have been removed, an initial grading is typically performed to reveal the contours of the terrain. Often, the terrain does not match what clients want or builders need, so it may be necessary to construct a berm or terrace. Essentially, grading is intended to ensure proper drainage, provide a level surface for additional projects, or alter the terrain. Therefore, it may be necessary to grade at least part of the site more than once. After all other tasks have been completed, we may need to perform a final grading to ensure that all parts of the site are ready for the contractors who will follow, including the builders, landscapers, or utility workers.
What Is Soil Stabilization as It Pertains to Site Work?
Unstable soil can cause structural problems for any pavement or building that is constructed on it. Because the soil is disturbed when excavated and used as fill, the subgrade will need to be compacted to protect the integrity of the project. Sometimes, it is necessary to amend the soil before compacting it.
What Types of Paving Are Considered Site Work?
Site work can involve a variety of paving projects. These can include paving parking lots, driveways, streets, sidewalks, curbs, dumpster pads, gutters, swales, building pads, and similar features. It may include pouring the concrete for an inground pool, paving an emergency access road, or constructing islands for landscaping.
