Detail

Inside excavation

Site preparation

Prepare the ground for new improvements, equipment access, pads, landscape work, drainage work, or construction support. Final scope depends on property conditions, grade, soil, utilities, and the intended use of the space.

Land grading

Grading can help reshape areas for better access, more usable space, and improved water movement when paired with the right drainage plan.

Drainage and French drains

Drainage work may help move water away from problem areas, reduce standing water, and support more usable outdoor spaces. Final recommendations depend on slope, soil, discharge location, existing runoff, and site constraints.

Driveway prep, parking pads, and shed pads

Edge can help prepare compacted areas for driveways, parking pads, sheds, garages, and other property uses. Material choice, base depth, compaction needs, and access are confirmed during estimating.
