Stronger Subgrades for Successful Projects
Rock Solid Stabilization & Reclamation, Inc., is proud to offer soil stabilization services for a wide variety of construction projects. We perform the most effective processes, using cement, quick-lime, or other additives to change the properties of soil. These techniques help improve the ground’s load-bearing capacity, reduce the potential for shrinking or swelling, and ensure stability under a wide range of conditions. We’re the soil stabilization contractors trusted by developers, builders and engineers across the country to help them achieve the best and longest-lasting results.
Not all soil is the same, and depending on the conditions the ground may not be fully capable of supporting construction projects or traffic without some preparation. Whether it contains too much moisture, suffers from weak load-bearing capacity, or has a high potential for erosion, some soil requires stabilization to improve its suitability for construction.
When pavement engineers and contractors need to increase subgrade strength or guarantee a working platform in unfavorable conditions, they look to soil stabilization and modification. With massive cost-savings and faster construction times, these technologies increase structural integrity and retain strength during wet conditions; ensuring your project stays on track, no matter what.

What Can Soil Stabilization Do For You?
Soil stabilization refers to any technique used to transform weak or unstable soils into stronger, more stable subgrades capable of bearing heavy loads. It’s a powerful and cost-effective technology used in site development projects to improve subgrade shear strength and control shrink-swell properties for higher load bearing capacity and uniform consistency. Think of it as an insurance policy against water, weather, and heavy delivery loads — giving your project the support it needs from the start and for the future.
The two main types of soil stabilization methods are:
- Mechanical stabilization, which uses compaction to compress soil to eliminate empty pockets of air and make the soil denser and more resistant to water infiltration.
- Chemical stabilization, which involves mixing the soil with additives such as fly ash or lime to change its physical properties.
Where is Soil Stabilization Used?
Stabilization and Modification can be used to add strength to almost any soil under any hard surface pavement or structural fill zone, including:
- Parking Lots
- Cement Roads & Sidewalks
- Building Pads
- Pond Berms, Dikes, & Levees
- Asphalt Roads
- Tracks & Athletic Fields
Benefits for Contractors and Builders
Stabilization can bring significant benefits to a wide range of groups or individuals charged with maintaining paved surfaces. For example, general contractors replacing a deteriorating parking lot at a shopping center can benefit from having a solid foundation on which to work. Water reclamation districts can utilize the process to create pond berms that protect bodies of water from erosion and pollution. Owners and operators of athletic fields can count on this technique to provide a level playing field for a track or basketball court. The applications for our soil stabilization services are virtually limitless, and we have been called to lend our capabilities to numerous successful projects over the years.
How Our Ground Stabilization Services Work
Reusing Material, Restoring Roads
Spread
Use cement, quicklime, lime kiln dust and fly ash stabilization to improve the soil’s optimum moisture
Mix/Till
Material is mixed into soil using a soil reclaimer/stabilizer
Compact
Compact soil using a padfoot compactor with a knockdown blade
Grade/Roll
Surface is shaped to desired elevations and sealed with a roller
Test
Proof roll, use DCP and density testing to ensure a quality end product
Did you know:For most projects, a 4-5” reduction in gravel will pay for complete ground stabilization of your subgrade. Save money while gaining structural integrity. Contact us to learn more.
