Grading & Site Prep

Perfect elevations and precise surface preparation that sets the foundation for every successful build.

Grading & Site Prep

Proper grading is the foundation of every successful build. K&B Lewis uses GPS-guided equipment and skilled operators to achieve precise elevations, ensure positive drainage, and create level building pads that meet your project's exact specifications.

Grading is an art and a science. Modern GPS-guided grading equipment allows us to achieve elevations accurate to tenths of a foot, creating perfect building pads, parking lot surfaces, and drainage slopes. But the technology is only as good as the operator using it. Our team brings decades of combined experience understanding how water flows across a site, how to achieve positive drainage without creating problems elsewhere, and how to work with Utah's varied soils and topography.

Utah's terrain presents unique grading challenges. Whether you're working with clay-heavy soils that compact differently than sandy soils, managing steep slopes requiring careful benching, or balancing cut-and-fill on challenging topography, KB Lewis brings expertise honed through successful projects across the entire state. We understand how to work with local code requirements for slopes and drainage, and we coordinate with engineers to ensure all grading meets engineered design specifications.

From residential lot grading ensuring proper drainage away from home foundations, to large commercial sites requiring precise pad elevations, to parking lots needing proper slope for drainage, KB Lewis delivers grading that looks perfect and performs flawlessly for the life of the project. Our work is the foundation upon which every other trade depends — we take that responsibility seriously.
