Find the Best Quality Concrete, Sand, Gravel or Topsoil for Your Project at Stevenson Sand, Inc.

Ready-mixed concrete offers several advantages over on-site mixing, including consistent quality, time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reduced waste. It’s also environmentally friendly and offers greater versatility. Some of the benefits include a more consistent quality with uniform mixes and strength every time, time efficiency to save valuable time during the construction process, cost effectiveness, meaning it saves long term cost by reducing the material waste, labor costs, and potential rework due to inconsistent quality. This material is very versatile and can be customized to meet specific project requirements, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small residential projects to large commercial construction. 

Safety is key for Stevenson Sand, and we believe our Ready-Mix Concrete solution improves safety on the job sites by reducing on-site mixing activities and minimizes the risk of accidents associated with handling raw materials and mixing equipment.

When it comes to landscaping and gardening, or site preparation for new construction, Stevenson Sand offers a wide variety of sand, rock, gravel, and topsoil that each offer distinct benefits. Often, they work together to create optimal conditions for plant growth and visual appeal, and more supportive sites for the erection of commercial or residential structures.

Sand is a great asset for certain projects because its coarse texture improves drainage with its larger pore spaces in the soil. It allows water to drain more efficiently. Sand also improves aeration, reduces compaction for heavy traffic, and also helps create a contrasting texture with a clean look. 

Sand can also deter weed growth by creating a less hospitable environment for weed seeds to form.

Like Sand, Rocks & Gravel are also used to improve drainage around structures, and protect the soil from erosion while retaining moisture in the soil all at the same time. Of course, rocks and gravel can add visual interest with a contrast to landscaping design, but they also provide durability and low-maintenance solutions for long-lasting organic durability. Certain types of rocks, can also break down and release minerals and trace elements over time which contribute to soil fertility.

Last but not least, Topsoil. This is the upper layer of soil that’s rich in organic matter and essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are all crucial for healthy plant growth and site preparation. Topsoil also enhances soil texture, improving aeration and drainage in clay soils by adding bulk to sandy soils. The organic matter in topsoil helps retain moisture, and stabilizes the soil; therefore reducing the risk of erosion on project sites. At Stevenson Sand, we screen our topsoil to ensure it's the highest quality for our clients and customers. 

Site work services encompass tasks like land clearing, excavation, grading and utility installation, and offer numerous benefits to construction projects, including improved efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced safety. These services are crucial for preparing the site for building and ensuring the project’s overall success. Professional site work contracting includes the use of heavy machinery and technology to complete tasks quickly, reduce overall project time and associated costs while also reducing rework and delays, while streamlining construction. 

A well-prepared site provides better access for workers, equipment, and materials, therefore improving on-site productivity. 

Site work also often involves erosion control measures and adherence to environmental regulations to prevent pollution and to protect the surrounding area. By identifying and clearing obstructions, Site work services minimizes the risk of accidents and damage to the property during construction, therefore contributing to longevity and structural integrity with the help of excavation, grading, and overall site work utilities.

Septic system installation involves setting up an under-ground wastewater treatment system on a property, typically in areas without access to public sewer lines. It's a process of connecting a home's plumbing to a septic tank and drain field, allowing wastewater to be treated and disposed of on-site.

The system provides a means for treating and disposing of waste water from a home when a public sewer system isn't available. A typical septic system includes a tank, a drain field or a leach field, and connecting pipes. Wastewater from a home flows into the septic tank, where solids settle, and the liquid is treated. The treated liquid then flows to the drain field, where it seeps into the soil. Installation involves excavating trenches for the tank and drain field, installing the tank, connecting pipes, and ensuring the drain field is properly constructed. Septic system installations are often subject to local regulations and permits. 

Stevenson Sand is here to help with your Septic System Installations, and offers regular maintenance and repairs that are crucial for ensuring proper system function.

Getting your property or construction site cleared, leveled, and graded for your upcoming project is typically one of the first steps with a new site project. Stevenson Sand, Inc. offers Grading & Clearing Services that are guaranteed to streamline your construction. 

Clearing removes hazards like debris, rocks, and vegetation, prior to the start of a construction project, and when combined with Grading, creates a level and stable foundation. Both of these reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the structural integrity of any future buildings or structures. 

Improved drainage is one of the benefits of Grading as it ensures proper water runoff, and prevents pooling, erosion, water damage, and potential flooding. These services are a must have for optimizing land use, increasing property value, and reducing erosion on your job sites.

Some of these services include: land clearing, land leveling, land grading, earth moving, brush removal, vegetation clearing, construction site preparation, tree removal, stump and root removal, debris and waste removal, erosion control and overall land improvement.

Different methods and types of demolition can be used during various projects.

Demolition is the process of tearing down existing structures to make way for new construction or other purposes. This involves dismantling or destruction of buildings or other structures. It's often the first step in a construction project, especially when an existing structure needs to be removed to make room for a new one. Demolition can be done manually, with machinery, or even with explosives, depending on the size and type of structure.

Excavation, on the other hand, is the process of digging and removing earth, rock, or other materials to prepare the ground for foundations, utilities, or other construction work. This is a crucial step in preparing the land for construction, as it allows for the installation of foundations, utilities, and other underground infrastructure. Excavation can involve shallow digging for things like landscaping or deeper excavation for building foundation.
