New Construction Parking Lots

Need a Parking Lot Site Development Contractor?

Before you do paving for your new construction parking lot, you have to make sure the site is prepped correctly first.

At Shilling Excavation, we know that the site prep process is a crucial first step to any construction project – and that includes parking lot developments.

To get your site ready for functional new construction parking lots, hire the expert crew at Shilling Excavation.

Soil testing

The subgrade soil must be strong enough to support the parking lot as well as the construction machinery that will be used to pave it.

Part of our parking lot preparation services is proper removal of any low-quality type of soil and assurance that the subgrade soil is sufficient

Parking Lot Clearing

Another important aspect of our parking lot preparation services. Efficient and prompt clearing of all rocks, dirt, plants, debris, and other obstacles.

Expert removal and clearing of anything that could damage your subgrade soil.

We’ll also ensure that the subgrade soil is graded, so it’s adequately leveled for parking lot development.

Proper Drainage Planning

Any endeavor in the realm of site development, such as building a parking lot, requires comprehensive drainage planning. Ensuring your project has a clear and robust strategy for managing groundwater becomes crucial, particularly during the rainy season, to maintain dry subgrade soil.

The utilization of septic tanks can be part of an efficient drainage plan, which is a vital aspect of your parking lot preparation. This not only aids in maintaining the integrity of your parking site but also significantly prevents future damage.

OUR PROCESS

Accuracy and expertise play important roles in the building site preparation and development process. As trusted contractors since 1992, our site prep process includes:

Making sure the site area does not shift.
Leveling and raising the ground to keep water away from the collecting around or going in your building.
Removing all stumps, rocks, vegetation, root balls, and other obstructions under the building pad. Stumps and vegetation will decompose over time and damage the foundation.
Properly shaping the topsoil to allow for an even taper around the site of the building pad. The taper ensures water does not go around the building.
