Beginner

Grading is the shaping of a site's dirt so water goes where you want it and structures sit on stable ground. Every finished elevation should be intentional.

Advanced

Design and QA grading against a target surface (TIN or contours). Track deviation zones, evaluate balance between cut and fill, watch swale and pond capacities, and confirm daylight lines against property boundaries and utility easements.
