Grading & Base Work In The Greater Toronto Area
Every driveway, lot and patio we build starts here. Sand Stone Paving excavates to depth, addresses soft or wet sub-grade, and places and compacts engineered granular base in lifts to a specified density. Then we grade the base to move water where it belongs, installing sub-drains and adjusting structures as needed. Skimping on base work and site grading is why so many surfaces fail early, so we simply do not cut this corner. We handle excavation, grading and base preparation for projects across the Greater Toronto Area.
Why Choose Sand Stone Paving For Grading & Base Work
Base work is the single biggest reason surfaces last or fail. We build it to spec, compact in lifts, and grade for drainage, so what goes on top performs for years. We have 8+ years across the Greater Toronto Area, and we are BBB accredited with an A+ rating and fully insured.
