Road Base Formation — Landscape Finishing
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
How to Prepare Subgrade for Road Base
Before road base is placed, the subgrade should be accepted for both level and condition. An uneven or weak supporting surface can lead to thickness variation and premature failure above it.
Before moving material
Confirm formation level and identify unaccepted areas.
Receiving operation and checks
Inspect and accept before spreading base aggregate. Record level and material checks for the same work area.
Adding more base material is not automatically a remedy for weak subgrade.

A road-surface handover should identify the layer being accepted and the next paving or traffic operation. A base-layer check and a wearing-surface check are not interchangeable.
Before moving material
Confirm layer specification, alignment and receiving operation.
Receiving operation and checks
Release the accepted layer to surfacing or the intended use. Check edges, junctions and drainage connections.
The design sets applicable tolerances; the machine brand does not.

A landscape-surface handover connects soil levels with the intended paths, planting and drainage. The growing layer and structural features need their own acceptance checks.
Before moving material
Confirm finished levels and the planting-medium requirements.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over to the planting or hardscape team with remaining work identified. Inspect thresholds, tree zones and drainage transitions.
A visual landscape concept is not an issued construction design.
