Excavating for Pole Barn

Gentlemen,

I hope that someone has some experience with this. Here is my situation: 1) I am having Northland Buildings erect a pole barn for me. 2) The area is flat and free of trees. 3) I would like to prepare the site and fill with gravel with my TC25D and loader. 4) I would like to see pictures or get instructions as to how others have prepared their pole barn site. 5) Does this project really require a $2000 excavation? 6) My soil does not have a lot of sod - my plan was to build a soil mound 1 foot higher than surrounding area- then cover with another 4-6" of gravel - level everything then call the erectors. Please lend your experiences to me.

Cliff

Excavating for Pole Barn

Here is the deal - all topsoil has to be stripped then fill with large stone (2-3" dia.) about 3" deep. Then gravel - 3-4". Then add as much stone necessary to get the floor level and 6" above grade.

That is the guidance from an excavator. Backfill to create side slopes.
