Site preparation includes excavation, grading, clearing, and foundation work to create a safe and accessible construction area. Proper preparation ensures the site is level, stable, and ready for building. At Bobo Construction Management, we handle all aspects to prepare your site correctly from the start.

Rain and freezing temperatures can delay excavation by making soil unstable or too hard to move efficiently. Wet conditions affect grading accuracy and equipment access. In Shelbyville, TN, scheduling around seasonal weather patterns helps keep projects on track and ensures proper site preparation.

French drains use underground perforated pipes surrounded by gravel to redirect subsurface water, while surface drains collect and channel water from the ground level. French drains work well for basement moisture and yard saturation, whereas surface drains handle runoff from driveways and low-lying areas.

Drainage should be installed before any concrete or asphalt work begins to prevent water pooling and surface damage. Proper drainage extends pavement lifespan by directing water away from the foundation. At Bobo Construction Management, we integrate drainage solutions during site prep to protect your investment.

Proper grading ensures water drains away from the parking surface, preventing pooling, cracking, and premature deterioration. Grading also creates a stable base for asphalt or concrete. Quality preparation techniques are essential for long-lasting commercial pavement in Shelbyville, TN and surrounding areas.

Residential utility lines are generally buried 18 to 36 inches deep, depending on the utility type and local codes. Water and sewer lines usually go deeper than electrical or telecommunication lines. Precise installation ensures safety, code compliance, and protection from surface activity.

Utilities must be disconnected, hazardous materials assessed, and permits obtained before demolition begins. Safe planning includes debris removal plans and site clearing protocols. Professional demolition services ensure compliance and protect surrounding property during commercial, industrial, or residential projects.

At Bobo Construction Management, we integrate land clearing with drainage solutions for flood prevention.

Site size, soil conditions, access difficulty, and depth of excavation all influence cost. Rocky or clay-heavy soil requires more equipment time, and remote locations add transportation expenses. Projects requiring grading, clearing, and utility work will vary based on complexity and site preparation needs.

Seal coating every two to three years protects asphalt from weather and wear, while promptly filling cracks prevents water infiltration. Proper drainage and avoiding heavy loads on fresh pavement extend lifespan. Quality materials and preparation during installation reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Ignoring early warning signs like standing water or soggy areas leads to foundation damage and landscape erosion. Many homeowners delay installation until problems worsen. At Bobo Construction Management, we recommend addressing drainage issues early with French drains, surface drains, or grading improvements.
