The term "fine grading" can mean different things for different aspects of the job. Fine grading for slopes or flat areas may mean the definition of ready to rake and seed. Fine grading for a building pad may mean a tolerance of +/- .5 inch across the pad. It also can mean a sub-grade for a 6:2:1 paving section, in which the correct sub-grade (fine grade) is crucial to a paving budget. The definition of fine grade is set by the plans and specs for the specific project.
