Grading is the process of leveling a land surface to a desired gradient by cutting, filling, and smoothing the soil. In the athletic field construction industry, laser grading establishes surface elevations through the process of moving soil within a given area using a grading mechanism equipped with an automated blade control system. Proper laser grading accomplishes an elevation change from high point to low point and a smooth surface without significant high spots or dips that could impede surface water flow.
