Grading Contractor — Rough & Finish Grade
Grading sets the foundation for everything built on top of it. Cadoava delivers GPS-accurate rough and finish grading for building pads, parking lots, roads, and lots across Utah County, the Heber Valley, and Park City — engineered compaction, correct slopes for drainage, and tolerances that keep the next trades on schedule.
Why Cadoava for Grading
GPS machine control and grade staking for accuracy to plan.
Engineered compaction in lifts, tested to spec.
Drainage and slope built correctly so water goes where it should.
Self-performed alongside our excavation and utility crews.
Our Process
Subgrade prep
Bring the site to subgrade and proof-roll for soft spots.
Rough grade
Shape pads, slopes, and drainage to engineered elevations.
Compaction & testing
Compact in lifts and verify density before finish.
Finish grade
Tighten to final tolerance, ready for concrete, paving, or landscape.
What Affects the Cost
Every project is different. These are the biggest factors that move the price on grading work — we'll walk you through yours in a free estimate.
- Site size and the precision/tolerance required.
- Soil type and required compaction effort.
- Import or export of material if the site doesn't balance.
- Drainage complexity and retaining requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between rough and finish grading?
Rough grading shapes the site to approximate elevations and drainage. Finish grading tightens everything to final tolerance for the surface that goes on top — concrete, asphalt, or landscape.
Why does compaction matter?
Poorly compacted fill settles, which cracks slabs and pavement and undermines foundations. Engineered compaction tested to spec prevents expensive failures later.
