At The Stone Construction Company Inc., we understand that site work is the foundation upon which a successful project is built. Site work is the preparation and groundwork required before construction can begin. This includes grading, excavation, and utilities installation. It is a crucial step in the construction process that requires careful planning and execution.

Properly done site work ensures that the construction process goes smoothly and on schedule. A well-prepared site allows for the efficient movement of construction equipment and materials, minimizing delays and increasing productivity. By having a clear understanding of the site’s topography and soil composition, we can plan and execute the excavation and grading needed to create a stable and level foundation for the building or structure.

In addition to ensuring the success of the construction project, site work also has an impact on the surrounding environment. Proper site work can reduce soil erosion, prevent stormwater runoff, and protect nearby water sources. By carefully planning and executing the site work, we can minimize the environmental impact of the construction project.

We understand the importance of properly done site work. We take a thorough and thoughtful approach to every project we undertake, ensuring that the site work is completed with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our experienced team has the knowledge and expertise to tackle even the most complex site work challenges.
​
In conclusion, site work is a critical component of any construction project, and its importance cannot be overstated. Properly done site work ensures that the project stays on schedule, reduces environmental impact, and creates a stable foundation for the building. At our construction company, we take great pride in the quality of our site work, and we’re committed to delivering successful projects that meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.

Safety Tip #1: Know your limitations.
​Using a snowblower requires physical activity in often cold and sometimes inclemet weather.  If you are unsure of your ability to operate the machinery you should consult with your doctor. Never operate your equipment while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.  

Safety Tip #2: Know your equipment.
Accidents can happen when you are unfamiliar with the equipment you are operating. Even if you are familiar with your equipment it doesn't hurt to freshen up by re-reading the safety materials.  You can find the parts manual and safety manual for most machines online. Never stick any part of your body into the machine, even if it is not running. Always be familiar with your equipment before you even start it up.

Safety Tip #3: Dress appropriately.
​Loose clothing can be dangerous so don't wear objects that dangle such as scarfs or headphones because they can accidentally get caught in the machine.  If it is cold remember to wear clothing that keeps you warm but stills allow for proper movement to operate the machine. Eye and ear protection are also very important to protect against flying debris and the noise of the machine.  

Safety Tip #4: Be aware of your surroundings. 
Rocks, sticks, and other debris can become a projectile damaging property and injuring people.  Always make sure you know what is under the snow your are attempting to clear. For steep hills consider using alternate methods of snow removal.  Using a snowblower in a place where you could lose your footing can be dangerous.  Also be aware of small children and others within the vicinity of your work area. 

Safety Tip #5: Maintain your equipment. 
Snowblower safety can also depend on the condition of your machine. Damaged snowblowers are more likely to malfunction, causing greater risk of an accident or injury. It is always a good practice to thoroughly inspect the machine both before and after use.

Crushed stone is derived from larger rocks that have been crushed or broken down by a crushing machine.  Crushed stone is used for a number of different construction and landscaping purposes. The Stone Construction Co., Inc delivers a wide variety of different materials for your home improvement and construction needs.   

Crushed stone is often measured in cubic yards. To find the number of cubic yards needed for your project follow the following steps for the area you want to fill or cover:

1. Measure the length (feet)
2. Measure the width (feet)
3. Measure the depth (feet)
4. Multiply length x width x depth
5. Divide the total above by 27

Example: You want to make a crushed stone sidewalk that is 50 feet long by 4 feet wide and 6 inches deep.

• Multiply 50 x 4 x .5 (1/2 foot) = 100
• Divide 100 by 27 = 3.7 cubic yards

This formula can also be used for other types of materials such as topsoil, gravel, stone dust, etc.
