Yard site prep

Raw ground made ready to work.

Clearing, grading, drainage and base — the unglamorous work that decides whether a yard drains, holds up under load, and lasts.

  • Clearing and grading
  • Drainage that survives a storm
  • Base and surfacing for the loads you're carrying
  • Access and turning room designed in

What it covers

Get the ground right and everything else is easier.

Clearing and grading

Levelling and shaping so the site drains where you want it to and not into the neighbour's.

Drainage

The thing that separates a yard that works in February from one that doesn't.

Base and surfacing

Specified for the vehicles and loads that will actually use it, not for a brochure.

How it goes

Survey, plan, prep.

01

Look at the site

What's there now, how water moves across it, and where access can go.

02

Agree the scope

What the ground needs to carry decides the base. You get told the reasoning, not just a number.

03

Prep the ground

Cleared, graded, drained and surfaced, ready for fencing and gates to go in.

Good to know

Yard site prep — questions we get.

Do you do this for land you don't operate?
Ask. Most of this work happens on yards we're launching, but tell us what you've got and we'll say plainly whether we're the right people.
How long does prep take?
It depends entirely on the parcel, the ground conditions and the permissions. Anyone quoting you a duration before seeing the site is guessing.
Can you work with a site that's partly built?
Often yes. Underused corners of an active site are a normal starting point.
