Grading in Pass Christian and Harrison County

In Pass Christian, grading most often shows up as building-pad finish grades before a pour. When a slab edge or walk settles unevenly in Pass Christian, the fix usually starts with reading slope and compaction, not just adding fill.

We rough-balance cuts and fills first, then proof-roll soft spots before fine grading in Pass Christian. Swales, berms, and outlet points get shaped to match how water actually moves across Harrison County parcels. Near the beach in Pass Christian, storm windows and shell layers change how fast we can move fine grade without undermining edges.

Proof rolls and visual swale checks are part of handoff, not an afterthought on Pass Christian scopes. You get a graded surface with drainage intent spelled out, not a vague smooth-over. We typically stage motor grader and box blade setups around Harrison County access, not a one-size machine list.
