Preparing Your Lot for Construction — What to Expect from Professional Site Prep

The Importance of Site Preparation

Before any successful build begins, the groundwork must be right. Proper lot clearing, excavation, and grading ensure your foundation sits on stable soil, drains properly, and meets code.
Here’s what you can expect when working with Nangle Contracting on your Edmonton construction site.

1. Lot Clearing and Debris Removal

Every project starts with clearing trees, brush, stumps, and topsoil. We use excavators, skid steers, and hauling equipment to prepare your land safely and efficiently — whether you’re building a new home, shop, or commercial facility.

2. Excavation and Grading

Next, our team shapes and levels the land. Using laser-guided grading equipment, we create precise slopes and foundations that promote proper drainage and long-term stability.

3. Driveway and Access Prep

We also build driveways, access lanes, and culverts, ensuring easy access for construction vehicles and long-term durability once your project is complete.

4. Final Grading and Site Finishing

Once the heavy work is done, we perform final grading, topsoil spreading, and compaction to prepare the site for sod, landscaping, or construction.

5. Why Professional Site Prep Matters

Proper earthworks protect your investment. A poorly graded or compacted site can lead to uneven foundations, water pooling, and erosion — all of which can be avoided with professional site prep.
