Grading & Excavation

Proper drainage starts with proper grading.

Skid-steer or grader working on exposed earth, establishing grade. Laser level or string lines visible. Prepared subgrade surface.

Proper grading is why pavement drains and stays stable. We grade it right before we pave it.

If water pools on your pavement, the grade is wrong. We establish the right slopes for drainage, compact the subgrade to prevent settling, and make sure the surface you're paving over is solid and uniform. This is where pavement longevity starts.

Why A-Team

Why choose A-Team for Grading & Excavation.

We grade before we pave

Sounds obvious, but some crews skip it. We don't.

Drainage-first thinking

Every grade we set considers where water goes. Standing water destroys pavement.

Compaction standards

We compact subgrade to spec. Soft spots under pavement become potholes.

Service Area

We provide grading and excavation throughout the Puget Sound — Auburn, Tacoma, Puyallup, Federal Way, SeaTac, Kent, Covington, Maple Valley, Bellevue, and the greater Seattle area.
