What is a Building Pad?

A building pad, also known as a construction pad, foundation pad, or site pad, is an area of land prepared to support a structure. It involves excavation, leveling, and compaction of soil to create a stable gravel base for buildings, capable of supporting the weight of the structure and withstanding conditions like moisture, settlement, and erosion.

Importance of Building Pads

Building pads are critical for a successful project:

  • Foundation Stability: Gravel foundation pads ensure your structure’s foundation is stable and properly supported, preventing issues like settlement or shifting.

  • Level Surface: A level gravel pad is essential for proper alignment of structural elements like floors and walls, ensuring a safe and long-lasting build.

  • Drainage: Gravel pads incorporate drainage systems to prevent water accumulation around the foundation, which could lead to erosion and water damage.

  • Efficient Site Preparation: Gravel for building site prep provides an excellent base for workers and machinery to operate on, ensuring a smoother construction process.

Types of Gravel Pads

We offer specialized gravel pads for various needs:

  • Barn & Livestock Pads: Our compacted gravel pads for barns and livestock areas, like horse paddocks, use gravel for barn and shed pads, often with lime dust or sand for efficient drainage and water management.

  • Driveway & Parking Pads: We construct gravel driveway pads and commercial parking pads throughout Cass County, MO, and Johnson and Miami Counties, KS, built to withstand heavy traffic with lasting performance.

  • Foundation Pads for New Structures: We create gravel for concrete foundation pads for farm shelters, home sheds, or commercial buildings, tailored to meet load-bearing needs and provide a solid base.

  • RV & Large Pad Construction: Our gravel for large pads supports RV parking or heavy equipment, with expert grading and compaction for durability in Cass, Johnson, and Miami Counties.

  • Pool Pads: Gravel or sand pads for swimming pools ensure proper drainage and a level surface for installation, built to last.

Construction Process for Gravel Pads

Our process ensures a reliable foundation:

  • Site Preparation: We clear debris and vegetation and remove topsoil to prepare the site for your gravel construction pad.

  • Excavation: Soil is excavated to the required depth, meeting load-bearing and drainage requirements for a stable base.

  • Compaction: Heavy machinery compacts the soil, enhancing density and stability for crushed gravel building pads.

  • Grading and Leveling: The pad is graded to a uniform surface with the correct slope for drainage, ensuring precision.

  • Drainage Installation: We install drainage systems, like pipes or culverts, to prevent pooling around the foundation.

  • Quality Control: Every step is monitored to meet engineering specifications and regulatory standards.
