Project Overview
Road Crush Base Installation in Calgary
This Calgary backyard project started with existing sod and topsoil that needed to be removed before the area could be prepared for the next landscape phase.
Nika Terra excavated the surface, completed rough grading, then finished the site with final grading and leveling.
Road crush was spread, graded, and mechanically compacted to create a stable base for future landscaping or patio installation.

Project Details
Road Crush Base Installation Scope
The project combined sod and topsoil removal, excavation, grading, leveling, road crush placement, and compaction into one backyard preparation scope.
Sod, topsoil, and excavation prep
Existing sod and topsoil were removed, then the site was excavated for the new base preparation.
Rough and final grading
The area was rough graded, final graded, and leveled so the road crush base could be installed cleanly.
Road crush and compaction
Road crush was spread, graded, and mechanically compacted to prepare the surface for the next phase.
Final Result
The finished backyard area was converted from uneven lawn and exposed soil into a compacted road crush base.
The prepared surface is cleaner, more stable, and ready to support future landscaping or patio installation.
Project Benefits
Stable Base Preparation
Road crush and mechanical compaction created a firmer base for the next stage of the project.
Cleaner Grading Control
Rough and final grading helped shape the work area before the road crush finish.
Ready for Future Work
The compacted surface was prepared for future landscape or patio installation.
Cleaner Yard Surface
Removing sod and topsoil replaced the rough lawn area with a more organized base surface.
