Are you trying to get a jump on your next building project before the rainy season? Make site leveling and drainage your first step, not the last.

Leveling and creating good drainage prevent soggy soil and standing water. The site will be safer for workers to walk and drive across. Equipment won’t bog down. Materials can be stored on site without risking water damage. Well-drained soil is less likely to compact under equipment, leading to less work later when the landscaping goes in. Leveling and draining are much easier to do before foundations, driveways, and underground utilities have been installed.

Just throwing more dirt on the site will not give good results. Material that is too fine won’t drain and may erode into nearby waterways. Rock and aggregate of the right diameter allow water to flow through without being washed away themselves. Ditches, retention ponds, and subsurface drains need the correct size and type of materials around them so they can do their job and not cause problems later.
