Rough grading, fine grading, building pad construction, and compaction testing, performed with our own equipment fleet. Every pad we build passes first inspection.
Ground that isn't prepared correctly produces pavement, structures, and drainage that fail early. We get the site right before anything goes on top of it.
Mass earthwork to establish approximate design elevations and drainage patterns. Cuts and fills balanced to minimize import/export costs. Performed with scrapers, dozers, and motor graders from our own fleet.
Precision grading to within ±0.1 foot of design elevation for paving or landscaping surfaces. GPS-guided blade work where required for tight tolerances on large commercial or public works sites.
Engineered fill placed and compacted in lifts to specified density. Compaction testing coordinated with geotechnical firm. Tolerance and documentation provided for building department submittal. We build pads that pass first inspection.
Nuclear gauge and Proctor testing on all engineered fills to confirm compliance with soils report requirements. Third-party geotechnical coordination, compaction reports, and documentation package provided to owner and engineer of record.
Surface drainage design and grading to route water away from structures and paved surfaces. SWPPP compliance for sites requiring stormwater pollution prevention plans during active grading operations.
Site clearing, demolition of existing pavement and structures, and haul-off under our C-21 (Demolition and Grading) license. Full site preparation from existing condition to graded, compacted, ready-to-build.
No rental delays, no third-party markups, no scheduling conflicts. Our crews operate our machines on your site, full accountability from first cut to final grade.
Precise blade control for fine grading to tight tolerances. GPS-ready for large commercial and public works projects.
Mass earthwork and push-grading for rough site work. Scrapers for efficient cut-and-fill balancing on larger sites.
Trench excavation, foundation prep, utility work, and selective demolition. Multiple sizes for access-constrained sites.
Vibratory drum and pneumatic compactors for engineered fill in lifts. Pad compaction to Proctor density spec.
On-site moisture control for optimal compaction. SWPPP dust suppression compliance during dry-weather grading.
When a contractor rents equipment, your timeline depends on an equipment yard's availability. When they subcontract grading, their sub's schedule becomes your schedule, and margins get stacked.
QGP owns its equipment and employs its operators. We show up when we say we will, run our own machines, and answer directly for the result. No middlemen, no scheduling friction, no markup on iron.
Every grading project is built to applicable Caltrans Standard Specifications and LA County DPW requirements. Our C-21 and A license classifications qualify QGP for municipal, county, and state-funded grading contracts, including prevailing wage jobs under DIR registration.
