Before the first layer of asphalt or concrete is poured, your parking lot needs a properly graded and compacted base. At ICON Grading & Construction, we specialize in full-service site prep for parking lots across the Kansas City metro — including excavation, grading, subgrade stabilization, and drainage solutions.


We partner with paving contractors, developers, and commercial property owners to deliver smooth, long-lasting  parking lot surfaces built to support heavy traffic and resist erosion.
