Water is asphalt's worst enemy. Grading is the answer.
Every pothole, sunken patch, and alligator crack you've ever seen started the same way: water ended up somewhere it shouldn't have. If the surface doesn't shed water properly, it pools, seeps in, and weakens the base. Florida downpours make cross-slope and drainage a priority before the first load of asphalt arrives.
Soil and slope decide the job
From sandy ground to existing fill, each Florida property needs its own drainage plan. A flat lot and a sloped driveway need different approaches to move water away from the pavement. We cut, fill, and shape for the soil and slope you actually have, not a textbook one.
What site grading with A Team Asphalt includes
- Site walk with drainage, slope, and soil conditions all factored in
- Cut and fill: removing high spots, building up lows, and stabilizing soft areas
- Proper cross-slope so water runs off your driveway or lot, not under it
- Shaping around landscaping, curbs, walkways, and garage aprons without tearing them up
- Compaction of the graded base so it's a solid platform for whatever comes next
- Coordination with excavators, utilities, or other trades already on site
Standalone grading or bundled with paving
We take grading jobs as a standalone service: leveling a yard, preparing a future paving project, fixing a drainage issue that's eating your lawn, or shaping a pad for a shed or outbuilding. Or we bundle grading into a full paving job so you get one crew, one schedule, and one point of contact from dig-out to finish coat.
Got a drainage problem you're not sure how to fix?
