The final, precise shaping of the ground surface to exact design elevations, done after the rough grading work is complete.
The final grading operation that establishes precise design elevations and slopes after rough grading is complete, performed to close tolerances (typically within 0.1 feet or less). Fine grading prepares the subgrade surface for paving, flatwork, landscaping, or building construction. It is typically performed with a motor grader or small dozer equipped with laser or GPS grade control.
GPS-guided fine grading achieved ±0.05-foot tolerances across the parking lot subgrade, dramatically reducing paving material waste.
