A. Pre-Leveling Site Assessment: • Conduct initial site inspection to assess topography and field conditions • Verify and confirm layout dimensions of the field area • Evaluate drainage design and slope requirements • Identify low/high spots, soil type, and compaction status • Confirm field usage (e.g., soccer, football) to determine specific grading standards B. Field Preparation: • Remove surface debris, vegetation, or existing turf (if included in scope) • Strip or scarify top layer of soil as necessary to prepare for leveling • Mark boundaries and reference points for grading operations • Adjust soil moisture if required for optimal grading conditions C. Laser Leveling Operations: • Set up laser transmitter and receiver equipment to guide grading equipment • Use laser- or GPS-guided tractors and scrapers or grading blades to achieve precise elevations • Grade the field to specified slope or flatness (e.g., 0.5% crown, 0.75% lateral slope) • Perform cut and fill operations to ensure even distribution of soil • Compact soil as necessary during and after grading D. Post-Leveling Activities: • Verify final grade using laser, GPS, or string line measurements • Smooth and finish the surface to be ready for turf or sod installation • Coordinate with turf/landscape contractor if re-sodding or seeding is part of the overall project • Provide final inspection with owner/representative • Submit a grading plan or elevation certificate (if required)
