Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between grading and lot clearing?

    Grading involves leveling and preparing the land surface for construction, ensuring proper drainage and foundation support. In contrast, lot clearing is the removal of trees, shrubs, and other obstructions from a site before construction.

  • Why is a building pad essential for construction?

    A building pad provides a leveled and compacted area, ensuring a stable foundation for structures. This foundation stability prevents potential issues and enhances the longevity of the structure.

  • How does forestry mulching benefit the environment?

    Forestry mulching is an eco-friendly method that grinds trees and vegetation into mulch. This process enriches the soil, reduces erosion, and eliminates the need for burning or hauling away debris.

  • What factors are considered when constructing roads or driveways?

    Key considerations include the terrain, drainage, material quality, and intended usage to ensure the road or driveway's durability and safety.

  • How do retention ponds differ from detention farm ponds?

    Retention ponds are designed to hold water indefinitely, often aiding in groundwater recharge. In contrast, detention farm ponds temporarily store water, especially during heavy rainfall, and release it at a controlled rate to prevent potential flooding and erosion.
